Automatic Energy Management
Tesla Home is the home energy management system (HEMS) that comes standard in every Powerwall. Powered by Opticaster, our AI optimization software, it predicts your energy needs, automatically adjusts your usage across your electric appliances and can help lower your electricity bills.1
Designed to work with a variety of home energy systems, Tesla Home connects Powerwall to Solar Panels, Solar Roof, Wall Connector and other third-party energy products, with no additional equipment needed.1

Maximize Your Savings
Opticaster can help you save more by analyzing your energy usage, solar production and local utility prices. Then it decides how and when to use your energy.
Monitor Your System
See what your system is doing throughout the day and adjust your preferences at any time.

Your Energy, Optimized by AI
Opticaster is the AI optimization software that powers Tesla Home. It automatically decides where to source your energy from and how to use it in your home.
Predicts Your Energy Needs
Opticaster assesses your energy usage and the weather forecast to predict your home’s solar generation and energy consumption.
Lowers Your Electricity Bills
Your system creates a plan to help you meet your savings goal. Based on this plan, your home uses solar or stored energy when utility prices are high, while your Powerwall and EV charge from solar or the grid when utility prices are low. Either way, you can minimize your electricity costs.
Improves Over Time
Opticaster continuously analyzes your home’s energy usage, solar production and local utility prices to improve its optimization and forecasting abilities. And with over-the-air software updates, Opticaster gets better over time.
