So I am in the early stages of building my own powerwall. Thanks to all of you for valuable information on this site. My project it taking a little while because....lets face it.... I do things the hard way for the sake of fun.
I will still build my wall. Its actually in the early stages and moving along slowly but surely. Testing cells, 3D printing cell holders, preparing a network rack for containment...
The Change:
On November 21st, within minutes of the unveiling, I ordered a CyberTruck. I think this may bea game changer. This is a huge powerwall on wheels! They have not released the actual battery specs yet. But, what do you think? 100KWH??? I'm guessing on that..... The truck is going to have 110/220 outlets on it. Unknown amperage rating on the inverter but Elon did say it is for tools. So 15 amps at least.... Probably 20.
Now I am thinking that my home powerwall should be nothing more than an energy storage buffer. Get about 4000 watts ofsolar panels, a 3000 wattVictron inverter, and have about 10KWH powerwall storage buffer just to charge the truck.
Just to so everyone understands, I live in a household with 2 driving adults. We already have 2practical internal combustion vehicles. The CyberTruck is intended to be a 3rd vehicle that spends most of its time in the garage. So charging at a slow rate is a non-issue. It would be used whenever a truck is required, and for travel when the 6 seats are needed (we have 4 kids combined).
What do you all think? Game changer?
