CARE AND MAINTENANCE Environmental Requirements Powerwall++ is capable of charging and discharging within the operating temperature range specified below. At the extremes of the temperature range, Powerwall++ may limit charge or discharge power to improve battery lifespan. For best performance, the average ambient temperature over the system’s lifetime should fall within the optimum temperature range specified below.
Powerwall++ is a fully integrated AC battery and PV inverter system for residential or light commercial use. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack provides energy storage for solar self-consumption, load shifting, or off-grid use. The Tesla Energy Gateway controls the operation of the system and allows remote monitoring of energy usage.

ABOUT POWERWALL++ Whole Home Backup with Backup Gateway 2 Partial Home Backup System A Powerwall++ system for partial home backup is designed to store energy from the grid or solar, and can power some home loads during a grid outage. These loads are selected during the system design phase, and the installer configures the system at installation to exclude all other loads from backup.
Component Description Tesla Part Numbers The Tesla Backup Gateway 2 is installed in partial and whole home 1232100-xx-y backup systems. The Backup Gateway 2 controls the operation of the system, allows remote monitoring of energy usage, and manages the transition to and from backup operation.
