In-roof Solar PV with Tesla Powerwall 2 Battery Storage
A bit about this In-roof Solar PV install
This install has a roof-integrated solar system which is a combination of 18 LG black neon mono solar panels with a Solar Edge 6kW single phase inverter that works with the Tesla Gateway and Tesla Powerwall to store the energy generated by the panels. The panels were mounted on the roof using the GSE in roof mounting system.
This mounting system is secured onto the roof after the tiles have been removed so that it is flush with the remaining tiles. Adding battery storage to this type of set up allows the energy to be retained for the hours in the day when the sun is not providing power. The Powerwall 2 can store the energy until you require it so you can generate solar energy during the day and use the energy stored in the evening.
This install was completed in July 2021 and so far the panels have produced 8.72 MWh power for this home. According to the Solar Edge app (which is the inverter fitted on this install), 2,228.55 kg in CO2 emissions has been saved in the last 15 months which is equivalent to 102.01 trees being planted.
Powerwall 2 with In-roof Solar PV
The Powerwall also provides whole home back-up so that in the event of a power cut, your appliances can stay on.
This is a whole home system for a clean energy supply that can reduce your grid dependency and gain some control over your energy costs.
This can be managed from the Tesla monitoring app.
