Tesla Powerwall - How to Power On and Shut down

In this video, we'll guide you through the process of safely shutting down and re-energizing your Tesla Powerwall 2. Whether you have solar panels or not, the Tesla Powerwall 2 is a fantastic addition to any home, providing backup energy and peace of mind.

The Tesla Powerwall 2 is a 14kWh AC-coupled battery unit, meaning it's not directly connected to the DC side of your solar inverter. This flexibility allows it to be installed in homes with or without solar power.

Here are the key steps to safely shut down your Tesla Powerwall 2:

Start by toggling the Powerwall switch on the side of the battery unit.
The Powerwall comes with an essential component called the gateway, which contains a 200 amp contactor. This contactor ensures that the battery can supply backup energy to your home without back feeding into the grid.
To complete the shutdown:
3. Turn off the Powerwall AC main switch.

Turn off the main switch for essential supply within the gateway.
By following these steps and operating all three switches, you'll successfully isolate your Tesla Powerwall 2. However, remember, always verify that the product is de-energized. A visual check is not enough. Test it to ensure safety.

When it's time to re-energize your Tesla Powerwall 2, follow these steps:

Open the gateway and first turn on the main switch for essential supply.
Next, turn on the Powerwall AC main switch.
Lastly, turn on the toggle switch on the side of the Tesla Powerwall.
Keep in mind that your Powerwall may take a couple of minutes to synchronize with the grid before it starts supplying energy, so don't be alarmed if it doesn't immediately kick in.
