What Can Powershare Back Up

If you own Powerwall, Powershare lets you use your Model 3, Model Y or Cybertruck to extend your home backup duration. This additional energy can run essentials such as lights and even large appliances such as air conditioners during outages for seamless partial or whole home backup.

You can also use Cybertruck to provide backup power for your entire home without Powerwall. Cybertruck can provide both 120 V loads used for lights, plugs and small appliances as well as 240 V heavy loads used in larger equipment such as air conditioners, electric cooking ranges, well pumps, EV charging, electric dryers, electric water heaters and pool pumps.

The number of items you need to back up, and the energy needed for each item will determine whether you should use Powershare to back up all or some of your home. Your Certified Installer will help you understand your home’s backup needs and find the best solution for your lifestyle.

With whole home backup, your Powershare system supports your entire home during a power outage, including all your appliances. Your home’s current energy system will determine which of the following Powershare configurations will work for you:

Whole Home Backup With Standalone Meter, Solar in Backup Circuit

Whole Home Backup With Meter Load Center and Backup Switch

Whole Home Backup With Meter Load Center and Relocated Loads

Whole Home Backup With Powerwall

Your Certified Installer will help you understand your home’s needs and how Powershare can fit into your existing system.

Partial home backup allows you to choose the essential items in your home that you want to back up in an outage such as lights and outlets and leave out items that require more energy such as air conditioners and washing machines. When the grid is providing energy, you will be able to use and monitor all appliances in your home. When the grid is down, your system will only back up those essential items.

Partial home backup is available for those who own Model 3, Model Y or Cybertruck and Powerwall. Cybertruck can also provide partial home backup without Powerwall in certain configurations.
