Power management firm Eaton has announced a collaboration with Tesla which aims to boost the functionality and adoption of home energy storage and solar installations in North America.

Targeting early 2025, Tesla’s Powerwall will support Eaton’s new AbleEdge smart breakers and help optimise energy use and extend backup duration during a grid outage.

Paul Ryan, general manager of Connected Solutions and EV Charging at Eaton, said: “By leveraging the joint expertise and expansive installed base of Eaton and Tesla, we're planning to bring a solution to the mainstream market that utilises dynamic, automated energy load management to intelligently extend available battery duration in an outage.”

James Bickford, Director Global Sales, Residential Energy Products at Tesla, said: "This collaboration will enhance what’s possible within the home energy ecosystem.”

The joint solution is intended to integrate security protocols at every phase of product creation, demonstrating the leadership of Eaton and Tesla in supporting trusted environments
