@brivael Edison was brilliant too.
AC was the right choice back then, but DC is the right choice today, as solar, batteries, electric cars and computers all use DC.
Many years from now, there will not be much AC left.
Here’s how Tesla’s new Solar Panels look installed on a roof by the team at @AHCDMV. The panels are beautiful.
• 420W
• Mounts on existing roof.
• 18 Total Solar Power Zones (vs Standard 6) enables more production during mornings and evenings (equals to about 6 extra days/yr of production).
• 25 Year Warranty
• Low Profile Installation with no visible fasteners.
• 33% faster installation by using a groove-based frame system for streamlined assembly.
• 71.1” x 44.7” x 1.57” (including frame)
I’m hiring exceptional software engineers for my team at @SpaceX.
We are a small team based in Redmond, WA (onsite) that owns key parts of the @Starlink user experience: https://t.co/HkjqT1Kf1w, the mobile app, customer support, AI integrations. No PMs. No designers. You ship from day one to millions of customers.
If this sounds interesting, DM me something impressive you’ve built.
Everyone around me this morning has the grim determination of just persevering - meanwhile I’m here drinking my coffee, checking my email, posting to X, singing to the beach boys (thanks dad) and admittedly not looking forward to when i have to hop out at the airport. Best ride ever. @tesla
Best part is no part - I think all-in-one probably makes the most sense for this application. I think that’s what Pila is doing. Tradeoff here is ease of install vs cheaper $/kWh, $/kW, and backup. What you really want is 80+ kWh that just plugs into a 240A outlet in your garage and works… if only something like that existed @cybertruck 👀
Tesla has introduced a new “Renewable Energy Bundle” in the UK, combining Tesla Solar and Powerwall 3 for £199/month, including installation at 0% interest.
Tesla is also bundling the package with a Tesla Model 3 for just £494/month combined.
The new offer is aimed at Tesla owners and includes an eight-panel solar installation plus a Powerwall 3 battery, all fitted and installed with fixed costs and 0% finance over four years. Customers will need to put down a £1,747 deposit, but Tesla says the package is designed to make renewable energy more affordable for households already driving electric cars.
It was great to celebrate this milestone with partners, Certified installers, and the @teslaenergy team. Factory is rolling, we’re excited to bring Powerwall and @Tesla Hone to the 3ph market in Europe.
