A day in the life of your solar home

Follow a single watt of sunlight, from your roof to every socket.

Scroll down. The sun rises with you. Watch energy flow from the array on the roof, through the inverter, into the battery, the home, the car and back out to the grid.

Sunlight becomes DC power

High-efficiency monocrystalline panels capture photons all day long. On a bright midday, this array alone produces enough to power the home, charge the battery and the car — with surplus left over.

02 · Conversion

Hybrid inverter routes every watt

DC from the panels is converted to clean AC and intelligently directed — to the battery first while the sun is high, to the home, then exported to the grid for credit. Reverses seamlessly after dark.

03 · Storage

Powerwall stores midday surplus

Once the home and car are looked after, every spare watt fills the battery. By late afternoon it's full — ready to power the house through the most expensive evening hours.

Your home runs on sunshine

Lights, appliances, heat pump, hot water — all powered first by solar, then by the battery. You only ever pull from the grid when both are exhausted.

Surplus pays you back

When the battery is full and the home is satisfied, leftover solar flows back to the grid. The meter spins in reverse and your supplier credits you for every kWh exported.
