this price decrease can make it possible if &#8212; and only if &#8212; your electricity consumption and solar generation are suitable.\u00a0 Even with the decrease I don&#8217;t see how it can pay

hhEndnotes_show(33164)'>2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h2>The Tesla Energy Plan<\/h2>\n<p>If you join their VPP, Tesla&#8217;s Energy Plan has a couple of impressive features and a couple of decidedly sub-impressive features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Per kilowatt-hour grid electricity charge:\u00a0 31.1 cents\u00a0 (Excellent!)<\/li>\n<li>Daily supply charge:\u00a0 0 cents\u00a0 (Stupendous!)<\/li>\n<li>Solar feed-in tariff:\u00a0 10 cents\u00a0 (Boooooo!)<\/li>\n<li>At times electricity from the Powerwall battery will be used to support the grid.\u00a0 There is no mention of payment for this, so I assume there is none, and no indication of how much or how often this will occur.\u00a0 (A concern.)<\/li>\n<li>At times the Powerwall 2 will charge itself from the grid so it will be ready to supply energy to the grid later.\u00a0 You will not have to pay for this.\u00a0 (Good to know.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not having to pay any supply charge is a good thing.\u00a0 Looking at the first plans I come across when I look for ones from Australia&#8217;s three largest largest electricity retailers I see their annual supply charges in Adelaide are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Origin Energy: $304<\/li>\n<li>AGL: $325<\/li>\n<li>Energy Australia: $281<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It appears not having to pay supply charges will save around $300 a year compared to these plans.\u00a0 However, Energy Locals, which is the retailer that will be administrating Tesla&#8217;s Energy Plan, has annual supply charges in Adelaide of only $257 a year.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla&#8217;s charge for grid electricity is also the lowest I&#8217;m aware of.\u00a0 Looking at the plans of the big three that appear most suitable for solar households I see their per kilowatt-hour charges are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Origin Energy:\u00a0 36.9 cents<\/li>\n<li>AGL:\u00a0 40.4 cents<\/li>\n<li>Energy Australia:\u00a0 38.5 cents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The plan with the lowest per kilowatt-hour charge I can find is around 35.1 cents from\u00a0 Energy Locals. \u00a0 This makes the Tesla plan around 11% cheaper per kilowatt-hour.<\/p>\n<p>The feed-in tariff is not so great at only 10 cents.\u00a0 This is less than half the 22 cents from Amaysim that is available to the majority of solar homes in South Australia and also considerably less than the 15.5 cents Energy Locals offer.<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/tesla-powerwall-price-vpp\/#en-33164-3' id='enref-33164-3' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(33164)'>3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h2>Energy Losses From VPP Grid Support<\/h2>\n<p>Because Tesla gives no information on how much power from the battery is likely to be discharged to support the grid, I will make an educated stab in the dark. If the Powerwall 2 battery supplies energy to the grid equal to discharging at its maximum continuous power output for 50 hours a year the household will lose 250 kilowatt-hours of energy.\u00a0 If one quarter of this comes from solar power that would have received a feed-in tariff while three-quarters represents extra grid consumption, then the average annual increase in their electricity bill would be $64.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t seem much compared to saving around $300 by not having to pay supply charges.\u00a0 But it is a complete guess.\u00a0 One I&#8217;m forced to make as Tesla gives no indication of what it&#8217;s likely to be.\u00a0 I suspect the cost will be fairly low as it doesn&#8217;t make sense to create a VPP and then drive people away.\u00a0 Especially when they are free to leave after 12 months.<\/p>\n<h2>Still Unlikely To Be Worthwhile For Most Households<\/h2>\n<p>Even with the reduced price, the Tesla Energy Plan, and the SA battery subsidy; a Powerwall 2 seems unlikely to be economically worthwhile for most solar households.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago I looked at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/cheapest-electricity-plans-solar\/\">best electricity plans for typical solar households in capital cities<\/a>.\u00a0 In Adelaide the example household had three people in it and the following characteristics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solar power system size: 6.5 kilowatts<\/li>\n<li>Total annual electricity consumption: 6,326 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual grid electricity consumption: 3,793 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual solar self consumption: 2,533 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual solar electricity exports: 6,515 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Feed-in tariff:\u00a0 22 cents with Amaysim retail plan.<\/li>\n<li>Annual electricity bill: $464.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If this household gets a Powerwall 2 and Tesla Energy Plan and I make these assumptions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>75% of the household grid electricity use is replaced with stored energy.<\/li>\n<li>The Powerwall 2 is charged entirely by rooftop solar.<\/li>\n<li>The Powerwall 2 has a round trip efficiency of 85%.<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/tesla-powerwall-price-vpp\/#en-33164-4' id='enref-33164-4' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(33164)'>4<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n<li>No kilowatt-hours are discharged from the battery to support the grid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then the characteristics of the household would become:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Total annual electricity consumption: 6,753 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual grid electricity consumption: 948 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual solar electricity self consumption: 3,272 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual solar exports: 3,243 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Average daily stored energy consumption: 7.8 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual stored energy consumption: 2845 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual losses from battery use: 427 kilowatt-hours<\/li>\n<li>Annual electricity bill: $29 credit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, using my assumptions, this household would be around $493 a year better off.\u00a0 If they paid the minimum installed cost of around $7,100 for a Powerwall 2 it would have a simple payback time of 14.4 years.\u00a0 If my guess that supporting the grid will cost the household $64 a year is correct then the simple payback time would be 16.6 years.\u00a0 As both these would require the Tesla Powerwall 2 to last well beyond its warranty to pay for itself, this is not a good deal for the household.<\/p>\n<h2>Optimistic Scenario:\u00a0 Vampires<\/h2>\n<p>In the above example an average of 7.6 kilowatt-hours of stored energy is supplied by the Powerwall 2 each day.\u00a0 As the battery&#8217;s usable capacity when new is 13.5 kilowatt-hours, it&#8217;s only being used at a capacity factor of 58%.\u00a0 If this figure was raised it would improve Powerwall payback time but there are two main problems with getting it to a high level:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Most households won&#8217;t use all the energy in a fully charged Powerwall 2 every night.<\/li>\n<li>There will be times when the battery will hold less energy than the household wants to use overnight due to cloudy whether and\/or daytime electricity consumption being high.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Even if I assume a household with a 6.5 kilowatt solar system is inhabited by vampires that use no electricity during the day and they use all the available stored energy in a Powerwall 2 every night, it&#8217;s still likely to be used at a capacity factor of less than 90%.\u00a0 This is because there will be many overcast days when the 6.5 kilowatt rooftop solar power system will be unable to fully charge it.<\/p>\n<p>But if it&#8217;s assumed this house is located far enough inland so they can use the battery at 90% capacity factor thanks to there being few cloudy days and all the inhabitants are vampires that lie in their coffins from sunrise to sunset and so use no solar electricity during the daytime, then based on the example above their annual electricity bills would be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Without a battery system:\u00a0 $666<\/li>\n<li>With a Powerwall 2 and Tesla&#8217;s Energy Plan:\u00a0 $757 in credit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This puts the household $1,423 ahead with the Powerwall 2 and shortens the simple payback time to 5 years &#8212; provided it never discharges power to support the grid.\u00a0 So under the right circumstances a Tesla Powerwall 2 can pay itself off in a very reasonable period.\u00a0 Unfortunately, no solar electricity consumption and a battery capacity factor of 90% are not reasonable assumptions to make for typical households and the simple payback time is likely to be far longer in reality.<\/p>\n<h2>Larger Solar Power Systems<\/h2>\n<p>I considered homes with 6.5 kilowatt solar systems above, which is around the most commonly installed size these days.\u00a0 A larger solar power system could help a Powerwall 2 be used at higher capacity as it would be able to fully charge it more often, but because the Tesla Energy Plan&#8217;s feed-in tariff is low compared to what&#8217;s available, it would result in lower payment for surplus solar electricity sent into the grid &#8211; and large solar systems generally produce a lot of surplus.\u00a0 As there is both a pro and a con, whether or not the Powerwall 2 deal can pay eventually pay for itself will depend on individual circumstances.<\/p>\n<h2>Reduced Backup Power<\/h2>\n<p>One drawback of being part of a VPP is when a blackout occurs your battery may have already been drained of energy from supporting the grid, leaving none for back up.\u00a0 To counter this, you can leave a reserve of 20% of the Powerwall 2&#8217;s usable storage capacity ready to supply your home in case of blackouts.\u00a0 The disadvantage is it will lower its economic return as there will be times when that energy could be used to lower electricity bills but will be reserved and unavailable.<\/p>\n<h2>Tesla Fails To Mention Powerwall Installation Cost<\/h2>\n<p>With their price cut South Australians can get a Tesla Powerwall 2 installed for a minimum of around $7,100.\u00a0 Because some extra work is required for most homes it is likely to be more than this.\u00a0 But on their site Tesla does not give even an approximate amount for the cost of installation.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/en_AU\/tesla-energy-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">On this page<\/a> they mention a price of $3,499 five times, which is the cost of the Powerwall 2 without installation<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/tesla-powerwall-price-vpp\/#en-33164-5' id='enref-33164-5' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(33164)'>5<\/a><\/sup>, But not once do they give even an approximate figure for the cost of installation.\u00a0 I thought this was against Australian Consumer Law, but after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accc.gov.au\/publications\/advertising-selling\/advertising-and-selling-guide\/pricing\/component-pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reading the details<\/a> I guess they have enough wiggle room to stay out of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Based on what Tesla charges, the lowest possible installed cost will be $7,080 which is more than double the $3,499 figure Tesla gives for just the battery.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t see how trying to keep this secret is going to help.\u00a0 I expect they&#8217;ll lose a lot of sales due to disgust when people find out the installation cost is more than what they have to shell out for the battery system alone.<\/p>\n<h2>Insurance Issues<\/h2>\n<p>If a Powerwall 2 is only charged by rooftop solar power its warranty will last for 10 years.\u00a0 But, if it is charged from another energy source, which it will be when used as part of a VPP, then the warranty will only last for the first of 10 years or until 37,800 kilowatt-hours of stored energy is supplied.\u00a0 This is still likely to last a typical household 10 years, but if the VPP uses the battery to support the grid a great deal it could significantly shorten its warranty.<\/p>\n<h2>What I Would Do<\/h2>\n<p>If I was using this deal to buy a Tesla Powerwall 2 there are at least two things I&#8217;d want to know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Would I receive compensation for energy discharged to support the grid or will there be a limit set on how much will be discharged?<\/li>\n<li>How will the warranty be affected by being part of the VPP?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, I probably wouldn&#8217;t use this deal because I like saving money and I don&#8217;t see how it will enable my home<sup class='endnote'><a
