<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The interwebs were abuzz yesterday with news Tesla Powerpack now has a (much bigger) brother – the Megapack.<\/p>\n
Tesla says each Megapack will boast up to 3 megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage and 1.5 MW of inverter capacity. It’s a big step up from the Powerpack, which offers 50kW power and 210 kWh storage per Powerpack unit.<\/p>\n
The Megapack is pretty much a plug-and-play affair, arriving preassembled in a container including battery modules, bi-directional inverters, a thermal management system, an AC main breaker and controls. Tesla claims the Megapack requires 40% less space and “10x fewer parts” than other large-scale energy storage systems currently available.<\/p>\n
“As a result, this high-density, modular system can be installed 10x faster than current systems,” says the company<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Tesla states Megapack can also be DC-connected directly to a solar energy facility.<\/p>\n
While big news for the company, Elon Musk’s tweet about Megapack was very subdued, simply stating<\/a>:<\/p>\n
“Tesla Megapack now available for utility-scale energy storage.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Megapack will be used for U.S utility PG&E’s Moss Landing substation project in California, which will feature a 182.5 MW energy storage system. As to when we’ll get to see Megapack in action there, this PG&E document<\/a> from last year indicates the required commercial operational date is December 31, 2020; so perhaps other large-scale Megapack-based projects will be completed prior.<\/p>\n
The smaller Powerpack has already proven its worth in here Australia. In its first year of operations, the Tesla “Big Battery<\/a> (aka Hornsdale Power Reserve) made money and lowered the cost of electricity – and has continued to do so since.<\/p>\n
2GWh Of Tesla Energy Storage Capacity Installed<\/h2>\n
According to Tesla<\/a>, the company has installed more than 1 GWh of storage capacity in the past year with its current storage lineup, Powerwall and Powerpack. This brings its total global installed storage capacity to more than 2 GWh, and the company expects this figure to “accelerate exponentially” in the coming years with the addition of Megapack.<\/p>\n
Tesla’s Second Quarter 2019 Update states Powerwall and Powerpack deployment grew by 81% in the second quarter to a record 415 MWh.<\/p>\n
“Powerwalls are now installed at more than 50,000 sites. Additional cell supply combined with our new module line designed by Tesla Grohmann enabled a step change in energy storage production,” stated the firm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Not so flash was its solar retrofit deployments, which Tesla said declined sequentially to 29 MW(h?) and overall, the company is continuing to bleed money<\/a>.<\/p>\n
On a related note, Tesla recently dropped the price of Powerwall 2<\/a> for Australian customers. While a significant drop, it was less than a quarter of the cost it whacked on to Powerwall<\/a> in Australia in October last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
