Powershare Home Backup

With Powershare Home Backup, Cybertruck can automatically provide backup power to your home with up to 11.5 kW of power for over three days.¹ Powershare Home Backup can detect an outage and start providing power within one minute without noise, emissions or maintenance.

Powershare Home Backup With Powerwall

With Powerwall, you can use Cybertruck to extend your backup duration during long outages. Tesla Solar Panels or Solar Roof help offset your energy needs and support your system by providing power to charge your Tesla vehicle, power your home or charge your Powerwall throughout the outage.

What Do I Need for Powershare?

If your home energy system has a Powerwall, you will need:
Either a Universal Wall Connector or Wall Connector 3
Note: Currently, Powershare is not available for home energy systems that include Powerwall. Powershare will be available for Powerwall configurations soon through an over-the-air update. You can, however, install all the equipment you need today to be ready for this upcoming feature.
If your home energy system does not have a Powerwall, you will need:
Powershare Gateway
Universal Wall Connector
In some cases, installing a Backup Switch can reduce your installation cost.
If you are planning on installing a Powerwall in addition to Powershare, install the Powerwall first to avoid additional electrical work.
Solar energy systems are compatible with your Powershare system and will extend your backup duration in an outage.
