Tesla Home

Home Energy Management, Powered by AI

Tesla Home is the home energy management system that comes standard in every Powerwall. Powered by Opticaster, Tesla’s AI optimization software, it predicts your energy needs, automatically adjusts your usage across your electric appliances and can help lower your electricity bills.

Digital Electric is a Tesla Powerwall Authorized Partner certified to install Powerwall 2 and Powerwall 3. We commission Powerwall so Tesla Home can run—we did not build Tesla Home or Opticaster. Solar installs are not offered yet.

A Tesla whole-home energy system (Solar Roof, Powerwall, Wall Connector). Digital Electric is a Tesla partner certified to install Powerwall 2 and Powerwall 3, and installs Tesla home chargers. Solar installs are not offered yet.

Standard with Powerwall

Automatic Energy Management

Tesla Home comes standard in every Powerwall. When Digital Electric commissions your system, the Tesla app is part of closeout—not a separate product sale.

Set Your Goal

Use the Tesla app to choose your energy goal to prioritize savings or solar self-consumption. You can also adjust your Backup Reserve to control how much of your stored energy will be saved for outages.

Maximize Your Savings

Opticaster can help you save more by analyzing your energy usage, solar production and local utility prices. Then it decides how and when to use your energy.

Monitor Your System

See what your system is doing throughout the day and adjust your preferences at any time.

Live in the Tesla app

Watch every watt. Join a grid event when it pays.

Tesla Home shows solar, home load, Powerwall, grid, and the vehicle as one picture. That app is Tesla’s—not a Digital Electric product. Digital Electric’s job is a Powerwall install that actually comes online in Tesla Home.

Where Tesla and the local utility offer a program, Powerwall owners can participate in Virtual Power Plant events in Tesla Home. The app can prepare for a grid event—charging the battery to support the grid and maximize payout—and you can opt out from Home Status. Digital Electric installs the system that enables this. Tesla operates Tesla Home, Opticaster, and VPP.
