Energy Value

Installing solar and Powerwall can help you save money by lowering your energy consumption from the grid. The Tesla app helps estimate savings from your Powerwall with the Energy Value card. This information allows you to view the amount of value generated on a single day, week, month or lifetime from your Powerwall.

By signing in to your  Tesla app , you can manually enter your energy rates to help calculate the cost of energy for your home.

If you have a Powerwall, Energy Value also accounts for the additional value that your Powerwall generates by storing solar energy and lowering your consumption from the grid during the most expensive hours of the day. Your Energy Value is calculated even if your system is not on Time-Based Control.

ENERGY VALUE

An estimated amount that you may not have needed to pay your energy retailer.
Available for Powerwall Owners.
Estimates use all data available from your Solar generation and Powerwall, including Home and Grid usage.

Energy Value Estimation

We estimate your Energy Value to be based on the price of your grid energy. This information is based on the data you input from your energy rate plan, your rates can typically be found on your energy bill or by contacting your energy provider.

Follow the steps to add an energy rate plan to help provide estimates for your home.

The Energy Value estimate is calculated from all energy data Tesla has available for your home in the selected period: Solar Production, and your Home and Grid usage. Energy Value is primarily influenced by your solar production, and — if available — your grid imports and exports throughout the day but also accounts for the value that your Powerwall earned by storing excess solar energy produced during off-peak hours and using it during the most expensive hours of the day, also known as load shifting.

Feature Availability

The Energy Value impact cards require the Tesla app version with version 4.2.0 or later. Additional utilities and regions will be added routinely.

The information on your energy rates are inputted by a user based on their current energy rate plan, we expect these values to be fairly accurate, however all values presented in the Tesla app are estimates. For several reasons, these values may vary from other calculations, such as those in your energy bill. These may include factors like aggregation, taxes and local fees, meter inaccuracies, data gaps, energy usage, non-bypassable charges, transmission / service fees or rounding, to name a few.
Changing your rate plan in the Tesla app will not change your rate plan with your current energy retailer. Contact your energy retailer should you wish to switch to a new rate. Similarly, switching your rate plan with your energy retailer or switching to another energy retailer will not automatically update the rate plan details in your Tesla app and will require you to update your rates within the app. You can always update your rates in the Tesla app at any time.
