Share Your Stored Energy, Earn Money

A New Kind of Power Plant

Instead of relying on large-scale generators, the Tesla Virtual Power Plant uses excess solar energy stored in Powerwall home batteries to provide more sustainable power to the grid when demand is high. The result is cleaner, more reliable energy for everyone in the community.

As a member of the Tesla Virtual Power Plant, you can share the energy stored in your Powerwall with your community’s grid and get paid for doing so.

Powerwall is equipped with software that communicates with the Tesla Virtual Power Plant, maximizing the support provided to the grid and the money you get for the energy you share.
