Tesla Megapack is a 3 MWh energy storage unit in Tesla's commercial offer. Can be combined into sets
Tesla introduced in its proposal Tesla Megapack, an energy storage unit with a capacity of up to 3 kWh and a capacity of 000 kW. The manufacturer boasts that its specific energy is 1 percent higher than competing systems. Tesla Megapacks can be bundled into kits to achieve millions of kWh or GWh.
It is believed that falling prices for lithium-ion batteries will become a thing of the past as an archaic and unprofitable solution. Instead of pumping water up and then taking energy from it as it falls down, we as a human being are building energy storage units (giant batteries) built around lithium-ion cells. Tesla Megapack is the latter type of solution.

Now the largest energy storage in the world was launched by Tesla in 2017 in Australia. Its capacity is 129 MWh and its capacity is 100 MW. The manufacturer boasts that it saved $ 40 million in its first year. It is also known that energy prices have dropped by 20 percent.

Building on the Australian experience, Tesla is introducing the Tesla Megapack, a 3 MWh energy storage unit in its offering. It is easy to calculate that its capacity is only 1/43 of the original system. However, the company is announcing that megapacks can be compiled into much larger systems. An energy storage unit with a capacity of 1 GWh and a capacity of 250 MW, consisting of mega-packages, as it were, consisting of blocks, can be put into operation in three months on an area of 3 acres (1,2 hectares, 0,012 km).2), which is four times faster than a fossil fuel power plant.

Megapackages can be directly connected to renewable energy sources such as wind turbines or solar power plants. The devices come with educational software that allows, for example, to store energy in the valleys at night and then return it when it is more expensive or not available.
