Residential · Powerwall

How Digital Electric scopes a home Powerwall.

Keep the house on through Midwest storms, optionally pair storage to solar you already have, and manage the system in the Tesla app.

Serving Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois.

Goal

What this job is for.

Keep the loads that matter—refrigeration, well or sump, heat or air, internet, medical equipment—through an outage, and use stored energy in the evening if solar already exists on the roof. Tesla Home ships with the Powerwall.

Constraints

What usually binds the design.

  • Existing service size, panel space, and whether a backup load center is required
  • Midwest winter mounting and Tesla’s published operating range (–4°F to 122°F)
  • Existing solar vs new solar
  • Whether a Tesla home charger belongs in the same visit

Design

How we decide before hardware lands.

  • What you need to keep on, and how much battery to hold back for outages
  • Powerwall 2 vs Powerwall 3 from Tesla’s published power, solar-inverter, and expansion specs
  • Whole-home backup versus the circuits that matter most, plus permit and utility paperwork
  • Optional Wall Connector on the same electrical design

Install

Field work, then Tesla Home.

Mounting, conduit, backup switch, labeling, and startup so Tesla Home comes online.

Outcome

How we close the job

  • Load list and outage reserve agreed before hardware is ordered.
  • Permit and utility path documented for the site.
  • Tesla app paired at startup. Tesla Home ships with the Powerwall.
