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, Model 3 or Model Y 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.

Powershare Grid Support

In certain areas, Powershare Grid Support lets you sell the energy stored in your Cybertruck battery back to the grid during high-demand periods allowing you to make money while your vehicle is plugged in.

The Tesla App

Use the Tesla app to learn about your Powershare Home Backup system or enroll in a Powershare Grid Support program. To enable Powershare, open your vehicle control settings in the Tesla app.

What You Need for Powershare

The equipment you need for Powershare depends on the configuration of your home’s energy system and which vehicle you own.

If your home energy system has a Powerwall, you will need:
Model 3, Model Y or Cybertruck
Powerwall
Either a Universal Wall Connector or Wall Connector 3
To use Powershare with Powerwall, you must connect your Powerwall and connect your Wall Connector to the same Wi-Fi network. Your Powerwall and Wall Connector must also be registered to the same site and be paired together to enable Powershare.
Once you meet the above criteria, contact the Tesla Customer Support team to enable Powershare.

Note: Co-optimization of Powershare with Powerwall for Grid Support is not supported at this time. If you have both installed, you will only receive energy credits from your Powerwall, if you’ve enrolled in the relevant programs.
If your home energy system does not have a Powerwall, you will need:
Cybertruck
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.

Note: In some regions, solar may disqualify you from participating in Powershare Grid Support due to additional metering requirements.
