Want to buy and store cheaper electricity?

Fed up with power cuts?

Want to work reliably from home?

Carter Electrical are proud to announce that they have been approved as an installer of Tesla Powerwall 2 batteries.

Tesla are well known for their electric cars and, after last week, the launch of SpaceX. What is lesser known is that Tesla have become a leading supplier in the UK of batteries to homes, offices, shops, and industrial units.

The advantages of employing Carter Electrical to install a Tesla Powerwall in your premises are many fold but the key points are:

• Store power when it’s cheaper and release when electricity is expensive.
• Have power back up when you experience a power cut.
• Charge your electric car more cost effectively
• The ability to sell stored power back to the grid.
• Store power from your solar panels if you have them fitted.
• Potential to become a self-powered home with a Powerwall 2 battery and PV panels both fitted.
• Manage everything from the Tesla App.

With a 13.5 kWh Tesla Powerwall 2 Battery costing around £7,200 plus VAT estimates on payback range from 7 to 13 years depending on your tariff. As an approved Tesla Powerwall supplier Carter Electrical would be delighted to quote you to install the appropriate battery and accessories to your home, office or workspace.  Reading based Carter Electrical cover Berkshire, South Oxfordshire, North Hampshire and Surrey.

Tesla quote on their website ”A self-powered home combines solar energy and Powerwall to independently power your home day and night. During the day, solar panels can produce more energy than your home uses. Powerwall 2 stores this excess solar energy and makes it available on demand, even after the sun has set. Through the Tesla app, you will have full visibility into your self-powered home.”

Regarding all too frequent power cuts Tesla say “Powerwall detects grid outages and automatically becomes your home’s main energy source. Protect your home from the next power outage and keep your lights on, phones charged, and devices powered up.”

A recent BBC report has highlighted how during the Coronavirus pandemic the National Grid were virtually giving electricity away. With demand down 15% across Europe, and with lots of sunshine and wind generating plenty of renewable energy, electricity prices went negative 66 times during April.

“Consumers who had signed up to flexible, real time tariffs with one UK energy supplier found themselves encouraged to use electricity when it went negative. ” according to the BBC.

“You’re doing a service to the National Grid,” says Greg Jackson from Octopus Energy, the company who encouraged their customers to use more during negative pricing episodes.

“The grid is going to pay someone to deal with this problem of oversupply. They will pay a company to build batteries, or they will pay companies to stop generating or you can pay customers to use electricity at those times.”

“These are all different ways of providing the service of balancing the grid.”

With the growth of powerful batteries consumers, both domestic and industrial, can buy electricity when prices are low and store it for later use.

Reading based Carter Electrical have just become an approved installer of Tesla Powerwall 2 batteries. Tesla have over 100,000 of their batteries installed in UK and are set to become the leading supplier. Powerwall is a completely automated system that installs easily and requires minimal maintenance.
