While Tesla Inc TSLA is often valued on the company's vehicle production, Tesla is also heavily involved in energy production and storage via solar and stationary power storage in the form of batteries.
Tesla's Powerwall is a battery pack helps homeowners and businesses store their extra solar energy, and even keep power in case the grid goes down.
A story by Tesmanian tells of Tesla's biggest Powerwall installation in the U.K., at Portsmouth City Council's Hilsea Industrial Estate. The 10-battery setup stores energy from 738 solar panels.
The system can store 135 kilowatt-hours of energy, an amount large enough to power the average home for approximately two weeks. This system is expected to reduce power bills by 50%.
