In this article, we will introduce its latest Powerwall 3.0：mentioning that firstly, it improves the AC power, and secondly, it is easy to install.
1.Tesla launched home energy storage system Powerwall 3.0
According to public information, compared with Powerwall 2, the appearance is similar and the battery capacity is still 13.5kWh. However, this new device is a fully integrated solar and battery system, built-in solar inverter, the system can be directly connected to the solar energy, so as to have a higher power output, for the family energy storage has brought a new breakthrough.
2. Advantages of Powerwall 3.0
First of all, the Powerwall 3.0 does not require the installation of a third-party solar inverter, and realizes a battery capacity of up to 40.5kWh. The Powerwall 3.0’s highly efficient grid-connected solar energy efficiency reaches 97.5%. Once installed, the Powerwall 3.0 can be monitored and managed using the Tesla app.
Secondly, the AC power of the Powerwall 3.0 has been upgraded to 11.5 kW, a 20% increase over the previous generation of behind the meter battery storage products, and the Powerwall 3.0 still supports ground or wall mounting.
In addition, the thickness of Tesla Powerwall 3.0 is about 6.35 centimeters thicker compared to the previous generation, and some viewpoints point out that this is Tesla’s sacrifice of the thickness advantage to upgrade some of the product’s performances, including AC power.
In short, highly integrated products like Tesla’s Powerwall 3.0 are currently leading the market in a new direction. Highly integrated products can, on the one hand, realize cost reduction and efficiency, reduce costs while improving integration efficiency, and, on the other hand, facilitate installation at the user’s end, greatly saving installation time.
3.Tesla Energy Storage Market Status
3.1 Installed capacity
In half a year, Tesla’s installed capacity of energy storage exceeded 7.5GWh, and the selling price on the official website of energy storage has increased by 4% again, and there are signs of delay in the delivery period. It seems that Tesla’s capacity constraints are still a bottleneck limiting the performance of the play, and even squeezing orders is still a growing trend. In addition, Tesla released its 2023 second quarter earnings report, a number of data once again created a single-quarter record: total revenue of $24.927 billion in the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of 47%, net profit of $2.703 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20%, net of net profit of $3.148 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20%.
Specific sub-business, photovoltaic energy storage energy business is still relatively bright, energy generation and energy storage business revenue of $1.509 billion, up 74% year-on-year. Especially in energy storage, the installed capacity reached 3.7GWh in the second quarter, up 222% year-on-year. This means that Tesla has completed over 7.542GWh of installed energy storage in the first half of the year.
3.2 Sale Price
According to Tesla’s official website, 100 sets of 2h Megapack energy storage system is priced at US$199 million, with a unit price of about RMB 3.71 Yuan/Wh, and a set of individually purchased set is priced at US$2.67 million, with a unit price of about RMB 4.92 Yuan/Wh. By the end of 2022, the official price of this set of Tesla’s energy storage system will be US$25,969,910, which is about RMB 4.655 yuan / Wh, there is news that a one-time purchase of more than 100 sets can enjoy preferential, RMB price of about 3.22 yuan / Wh.
From this, Tesla’s energy storage system price rose about 4% in six months. But from the point of view of delivery time, at the end of last year, the fastest delivery period of Tesla’s energy storage system is 2024 Q3, that is, about three quarters. And now the official website shows that the fastest delivery will be in 2025 Q2, which shows that its squeezed orders not only have not decreased but even still have an increasing trend.
3.3 Market Plan
In April this year, Tesla’s Shanghai energy storage super factory officially signed a contract, according to its initial planning annual production capacity of 10,000 units of commercial energy storage systems, the total scale should also reach 40GWh.
In January this year, Tesla said that it may use 4680 batteries in its energy storage products in the future, such as Megapacks, Powerwall. in the second quarterly report conference call, Tesla’s 4680 batteries also have new news, in the second quarter of this year, the Tesla 4680 production increased by 80% compared with the ring. In order to ensure the supply of energy storage and automobile industry chain, Tesla also said that it will continue to build anode material production and lithium refining production lines in the United States.
In addition, Tesla has been lukewarm in photovoltaic, PV installed 66MW in the second quarter, flat year-on-year, Tesla said the reason for the decline is mainly due to the high interest rate environment leading to the postponement of photovoltaic procurement of the whole industry.
3.4 Tesla new energy vehicle market
In the second quarter of this year, Tesla’s new energy vehicle production and sales were 479,700 and 466,100 respectively, creating the highest single-quarter production and sales record ever, and standing steadily as the global pure electric vehicle sales champion. Tesla said its 2023 electric vehicle production capacity target remains at 1.8 million units.
It’s worth noting that Tesla had several price cuts in the first and second quarters of this year, and that major car companies around the world were forced to implode to join the price-cutting melee. Finally, Tesla’s electric car business in the second quarter realized revenue of $21.268 billion, up 46% year-on-year.
However, this time, Tesla’s earnings report did not announce the profit margin of its electric car business, a metric that exceeded 30% early last year.
And Tesla itself said its margins remain at a healthy level of around 10%.
But Tesla’s overall gross margin has fallen to 18.2% in the Q2 quarter of this year, its lowest level in four years. The figure was still 18.9% last quarter.
The previously much-anticipated Cybertruck, which Tesla says is moving forward as planned, with candidate versions of the vehicle currently in production, and the first mass-produced Cybertruck having rolled off the assembly line at its Texas factory on July 15, is expected to be in mass production by the end of this year.
In conjunction with the use of electric vehicles, there has been a substantial increase in the deployment of Tesla charging piles, charging stations, and charging networks. Of particular note, in the second quarter of 2023, companies including Ford, GM, Mercedes, Nissan, Polestar, Rivian, Volvo, and Electrify America announced the adoption of the NACS charging standard, which Tesla developed specifically for its North American products more than a decade ago. Tesla says it will further open up its charging network in 2024 so that the rate of growth of the charging network can match the rate of growth of the transition from combustion to electric vehicles.
4. Summary
In 2015, Tesla began to involve in the global energy storage business, and it stepped into the field of energy storage through the household storage product Powerwall and the commercial storage product Powerpack, and in 2016, it further improved the household photovoltaic storage segment after acquiring SolarCity, a leading household photovoltaic manufacturer, and launched upgraded versions of Powerwall2 and Powerpack2.
In 2019, Tesla officially Launched the Megapack large-scale energy storage system for the utility-grade energy storage market, quickly occupying the leading position in the global large storage market, and in 2022, Tesla upgraded the entire line of Megapack products to lithium iron phosphate solutions, and its layout in the energy storage segment has now become complete.
