Solar and Energy Value

Installing Tesla solar and Powerwall can help save you money by lowering your energy consumption from the grid. The Tesla app can estimate savings from your solar system with the Solar Value impact card and from your Powerwall system with the Energy Value impact card.

With the Solar and Energy Value impact cards, you can view the amount of value generated on a single day, week, month or lifetime of the system, and you can customize the value calculation to be specific to the cost of energy in your area.

Solar and Energy Value Estimation

We estimate your Solar Value or Energy Value estimate based on the price of your grid energy. This is based on your rate plan or tariff, found on your utility bill. Follow the steps to add a utility rate plan to configure a rate plan for your system.

The Solar 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. Solar Value is primarily influenced by your solar production, and — if available — your grid imports and exports throughout the day.

If you also have a Powerwall, the Energy Value estimation uses the same data as Solar Value, 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 Solar and Energy Value impact cards require the Tesla app version with version 4.2.0 or later. Additional utilities and regions will be added routinely.
