Tesla is going to enable homeowners with Tesla solar roof tiles and solar panels to access and dive deep into their own power generation data.
In 2017, Tesla started to integrate features for Powerwall and solar customers to its mobile for vehicle owners.
It enables users to easily see where the electricity powering their home is coming from: grid, solar installation, or Powerwall.
Tesla has been gradually updating the app for Tesla Energy customers with new features. This includes a new “Storm Watch” feature to auto-detect storms and prepare for them by storing energy.
Now the company says it is offering “a few feature enhancements coming to the Tesla app in the coming months”:
You will be able to view your solar production for any historical day, month, or year
You will be able to export your solar and battery production data
Tesla Energy owners requested those features in order to examine their solar power generation data and the economics of their energy systems in detail.
Tesla’s solar business has slowed down greatly in recent years.
Last month, we reported that Tesla slipped to third place for residential solar installations in the US.
However, the company is planning to ramp up its installation during the second half of the year with new prices for their solar retrofits and a ramp of solar roof tile production with a new version of the product.
