======Energy generation and storage sales====== '''Powerwall''' Powerwall is a energy storage system (i.e. a type of battery).<ref name=":4" /> What’s unique about the offering is that it's the lowest priced energy storage system that Tesla provides, selling at $10,500. The energy capacity of the product is 13.5 kilowatt hour (kWh). To help put the capacity into perspective, in 2020, the average household in the United States consumed 29 kWh per day.<ref>https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3#:~:text=How%20much%20electricity%20does%20an,about%20893%20kWh%20per%20month.</ref> So, if the average household is powered from Powerwalls only, then it will require around two Powerwalls to power the whole house, at an average annual cost of $2,247. [[File:Powerwall2.jpg]] '''Megapack''' Megapack is an energy storage system.<ref name=":4" /> What’s unique about the offering is that it's the largest energy storage system that Tesla provides, at 3.5 megawatt hour. To help put the energy capacity into perspective, each unit has enough energy to power an average of 3,600 homes for one hour. A single Megapack sells for $1,000,000. [[File:Megapack-CleanerGrid-D.jpg]] '''Solar Roof''' Solar Roof is a roof tile.<ref name=":4" /> What makes the tile unique is that it's the most aesthetically-beautiful, energy generation roof tile. In other words, it's the most beautiful roof tile that generates electricity. [[File:5c603e0d86d2c7c005d1df44a jVVOsV8.jpg]] For the average house in the US, the total cost of having the solar roof is $59,700, or around $3,078 per year over the expected lifetime of the roof (the key assumptions used to determine the expected cost can be found in the table below). To help put the cost into perspective, the average energy bill in the United States is $1,380 per year, so, at the moment, meeting the energy needs of the average US household using the Tesla Solar Roof is 2x more expensive than the alternative. {| class="wikitable" |+Solar Roof estimated cost calculation !Description !Price !Commentary |- |4.98 kW Solar Roof |$40,600 |The average house in the US is 2,261 square feet in size and 2 stories in height. The warranty period of the solar roof is 25 years. Assuming that the replacement period of the solar roof is the same as the warranty period, then that equates to an annual cost of $1,624. The installation cost is included in the cost. |- |Roof Tear Off |$7,600 |Roof tear off refers to the action of 'tearing' off (or removing) the existing roof, something that is required to put on the Tesla tiles. Assuming that the cost is depreciated over the same period as the Tesla tiles (i.e. 25 years), then that equates to an annual cost of $304. |- |1 Powerwall Battery |$11,500 |The warranty period of the battery is 10 years. Assuming that the battery needs to be replaced at the end of the warranty period, then that equates to an annual cost of $1,150. Installation cost included. |- |Total price |$59,700 |Combining all the above costs together, that equates to a total annual cost of $3,078 |}
