The Tesla Vitality enterprise famous one other sturdy quarter each by way of quantity and profitability, as battery vitality storage system (BESS) deployment shortly will increase.
In line with the corporate, in Q2, Tesla Vitality era and storage revenues elevated by 74 p.c year-over-year to $1.509 billion (6.1% of the entire revenues), whereas the price of revenues stands at $1.231 billion.
Tesla stories that its BESS deployment greater than tripled year-over-year to three,653 megawatt-hours (MWh) or 3.65 gigawatt-hours (GWh). That is a 222 p.c enhance year-over-year.
To date this 12 months, the amount exceeded 7.5 GWh, which is already greater than in all the 2022.
Complete battery vitality storage deployment:
- Q2: 3,653 MWh (up 222% year-over-year)
- YTD: 7,542 MWh (up 281% year-over-year)
Tesla says {that a} essential function within the growth is the continuing ramp of the corporate’s first Megapack manufacturing facility (Megafactory) in Lathrop, California (introduced in 2021), which is promised to achieve an annual output of 40 GWh (10 GWh per quarter on common).
“Vitality storage deployments elevated by 222% YoY in Q2 to three.7 GWh, one other sturdy quarter as a result of ongoing ramp of our first devoted Megapack manufacturing facility (Megafactory) in Lathrop, CA. The ramp of this 40 GWh Megafactory – the primary of many – has been profitable with nonetheless extra room to achieve full capability. Whereas vitality storage deployment fee may be unstable attributable to mission timing, manufacturing fee improved additional sequentially in Q2.”
Sooner or later, there will probably be extra such vegetation constructed around the globe, together with the lately introduced one in Shanghai – doubtlessly round 40 GWh/12 months (assuming round 10,000 Megapack items). The funding is estimated at about $2 billion and must be prepared in 2024 (manufacturing begin in Q2 2024).
Time will inform whether or not sooner or later we will even see a 3rd BESS manufacturing facility (40 GWh/12 months) in Europe, which might convey the entire past 100 GWh yearly.
Tesla gives three most important forms of ESS merchandise (all numbers tentative/may change with future product iterations):
- Powerwall for dwelling installations (13.5 kWh usable / 7 kW peak / 5 kW steady per unit)
- Powerpack for business installations (As much as 232 kWh / As much as 130 kW per unit)
- Megapack (3 MWh items the most important mission by utilities)
In current weeks, Tesla Powerwall installations surpassed 500,000 items globally.

Within the case of the photo voltaic enterprise (standard panels and Photo voltaic Roof), the outcomes are nowhere close to BESS.
In Q2, the amount dropped noticeably to 66 megawatts (MW) – 38 p.c lower than a 12 months in the past, dragging into the pink additionally the year-to-date outcome.
It is exhausting to count on any vital progress coming within the close to time period.
Tesla explains:
“Photo voltaic deployments remained roughly flat sequentially at 66 MW, declining YoY, predominantly attributable to a excessive rate of interest atmosphere that’s inflicting postponement of photo voltaic buying industry-wide.”
Complete photo voltaic (standard panels and Photo voltaic Roof) deployment:
- Q2: 66 MW (down 38% year-over-year)
- YTD: 133 MW (down 14% year-over-year)

Tesla stays silent in its quarterly report in regards to the Photo voltaic Roof set up progress. The Photo voltaic Roof is produced at Gigafactory 2 in New York.
