![]() We tried requesting quotes for several major cities, such as Denver, Los Angeles, and Seattle, and received the following message: “We’re assessing where to service next. Unfortunately, Tesla’s website doesn’t specify which available markets. Tesla announced in March 2023 via social media that its new Powerwall Direct service provides standalone units for purchase in select U.S. Most homes need only one or two batteries to meet their basic energy storage needs. ![]() When we added two Powerwalls, the total cost was $22,200, dropping the per-unit price to $11,100. The price per unit decreases when you purchase more batteries and includes a limit of 10 units. Pricing starts at $14,200 for one Powerwall. From there, we could customize the system and add Powerwall batteries. Afterward, we received a custom quote based on the house size and energy needs. We requested a Tesla solar system quote by entering a street address and the average electric bill. Our team has observed that most solar companies won’t list any pricing until a quote is requested via email or phone. Tesla is one of the only solar installers to offer a free quote directly on its website. You can purchase a Powerwall with a Tesla solar system or solar roof. Tesla offers purchasing options for inclusion with a solar panel or roofing system or as a standalone purchase. This pricing does not reflect additional state or federal incentives, such as the federal solar tax credit. There are rollout plans for Sweden, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and the U.S.As of 2023, the Tesla Powerwall costs between $9,200 and $14,200 when purchased directly from Tesla. The team includes co-founder Marek Zmysłowski (ex-Jumia Travel and ), former Google executive, Rafal Plutecki, and former Tesla Channel Sales Manager Robert Bruchner. With a more elegant and efficient substitute to a traditional hybrid of rooftops and solar panels, SunRoof clearly stands out and has a chance to be the brand for solar roofs, making clean tech more appealing to a wider customer-base.” It is an economical no-brainer for consumers to build new homes using solar solutions. Technology of integrated solar roofs is past the inflection point. Michal Rokosz, Partner at Inovo Venture Partners, commented: “The market of solar energy is booming, estimated to reach $334 billion by 2026. We’ve already grown more than 500% year-on-year and will use the latest funding to double down on growth.” Kaniuk said: “SunRoof was founded to make the move to renewable energy not only easy, but highly cost-effective without ever having to sacrifice on features or design. SunRoof, by contrast, works with multiple partners. Tesla’s Autobidder is a trading platform that manages the energy from roofs but is a closed ecosystem. SunRoof gives homeowners an energy app to manage the solar, based on Redlogger’s infrastructure. Because the surface area is large and the connections fewer, the roofs are cheaper and faster to build. Instead, they use monocrystalline solar cells sandwiched between two large sheets of glass that measure 1.7 sq meters. SunRoof’s platform consists of 2-in-1 solar roofs and façades that generate electricity without needing traditional photovoltaic modules. To achieve this virtual power company, SunRoof CEO and serial entrepreneur Lech Kaniuk (formerly of Delivery Hero, PizzaPortal and iTaxi), acquired the renewable energy system, Redlogger, in 2020. Sweden-based SunRoof’s approach is reminiscent of Tesla Energy, with its solar roof tiles, but whereas Tesla runs a closed energy ecosystem, SunRoof plans to work with multiple energy partners. Other investors include LT Capital, EIT InnoEnergy, FD Growth Capital and KnowledgeHub. It’s now closed a €4.5 million round (seed extension) led by Inovo Venture Partners, with participation from SMOK Ventures (€2 million came in the form of convertible notes). It then links up those houses, creating a sort of virtual power plant, allowing homeowners to sell surplus energy back to the grid. ![]() It has its own roof-tile technology that generates solar power. ![]() SunRoof is a European startup that has come up with a clever idea. ![]()
