Using Your Tesla Account for SolarCity Customers

In November 2016 Tesla acquired SolarCity, creating the world’s first vertically integrated sustainable energy company. Since then, we have been working to enhance the user experience for all SolarCity customers by delivering the same tools and benefits offered to Tesla customers.

We’re excited to introduce access to the Tesla Account and Tesla app for one seamless experience with continued enhancements. While many customers have enjoyed access to one or both accounts, they will no longer have access to the MySolarCity Account and App in the coming months.

All MySolarCity accounts will remain active until August 15, 2019. Learn more about the changes, improvements and other support resources starting today.
