MISSION We recognize that we cannot achieve our mission alone, so we decided to open source Tesla patents, making them accessible to anyone who wants to design and build electric vehicles. To create an entire sustainable energy ecosystem, Tesla also manufactures a unique set of energy products that enable homeowners, businesses and utilities to produce and manage renewable energy generation, storage and consumption. Homeowners can install solar panels or Solar Roof to power their home using 100% renewable energy and store that energy in Powerwall, which makes electricity available during peak energy-use periods to help them save money and provides power during grid outages. Meanwhile, utilities and businesses can use Powerpack – an infinitely scalable energy storage system that provides greater control, efficiency and reliability across the electric grid. Combined with a 13 MW photovoltaic array, the 52 MWh Powerpack system Renewable energy generation and storage are critical components of in Kaua’i stores solar energy captured during the day and feeds it to the grid to developing microgrids — an increasingly important means of delivering help reduce the amount of diesel power reliable and sustainable electricity around the world. As deployment of generation needed to meet the island’s Tesla’s products continues to accelerate, we can scale the adoption of electricity demand. This system is helping the Kaua’i Island Utility Cooperative meet renewable energy, cost-e!ectively modernize our aging infrastructure its goal of using renewable resources (and become less reliant on it) and improve the resilience of the electric to generate at least half of the island’s electricity by the end of 2019. grid to benefit everyone.
