F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why does the Tesla mobile app show power flows or values that appear inaccurate?
Power flow on the monitoring Tesla mobile app shows the instantaneous flow of power of your home energy system. On a typical day a combination of solar, grid, and Powerwall may be powering your home. Solar energy may flow to the grid when your home does not need it and Powerwall is full. When charging your Powerwall to its backup reserve level or in Backup-only mode, solar power will flow directly from solar to Powerwall while grid energy is drawn for the home.

Environmental Requirements
Powerwall is capable of charging and discharging within the operating temperature range specified below. At the extremes of the temperature range, Powerwall may limit charge or discharge power to improve battery lifespan.
For best performance, the average ambient temperature over the system’s lifetime should fall within the optimum temperature range specified below.
Operating Temperature | -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) |
Optimum Temperature | 0°C to 30°C (32°F to 86°F) |
Care and Cleaning
If it is installed outside, keep the sides of Powerwall clear of leaves and other debris to maintain optimal airflow.
! CAUTION
Do not lean on, stack anything on top of, or hang anything from Powerwall or from wires or conduit leading to Powerwall.
! CAUTION
To clean Powerwall, use a soft, lint-free cloth. If needed, the cloth can be dampened with mild soap and water only.
! CAUTION
Do not use cleaning solvents to clean Powerwall or expose Powerwall to flammable or harsh chemicals or vapors.
Maintenance
Powerwall and the Gateway do not require pre-scheduled preventative maintenance. The only maintenance required by an owner is to keep the Powerwall unit free and clear of debris, especially around the air intake and exhaust.
