Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter that Tesla's Solar panels and Solar Roof will be sold as a bundle with its Powerwall battery.

Interestingly, the new policy was announced just hours after Musk responded to a tweet from Ark Investment Management's director of research Brett Winton, who had complained about how his Tesla Solar Panels have not produced any electricity since installation.

Tesla Solar Panels-Powerwall Bundle

In his post, Musk explained the reasoning behind the decision to sell the products as a bundle, noting that the Powerwall 2's peak and steady power capabilities are "better than advertised." Furthermore, the company now has several operational data to "unlock higher capabilities for free via software updates" starting in May.

Musk added that contingent on production, the increase of power might be higher than 50 percent at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.

Over at Twitter, fans expressed mixed feelings on the announcement from the Tesla CEO.

Electrek reported that purchasers can still order the Powerwall without the Solar panels and the roofs last month and vice versa. But now, the company is making it a bundle. This change will affect both Tesla's Solar Panels (which sit on top of an existing roof), and Solar Roof (which replaces a home's existing roof slats).

For what it's worth, Musk also stated that the Powerwall will now be the sole power source of the company's Solar panels and roof, enabling "super simple" installation and "seamless whole house backup during utility dropouts."

According to Bloomberg Quint, Cathie Wood of ARK Investment predicted that Tesla stocks could potentially increase to $3,000 by 2025, and with the moves the company is making, that is not far from reality. After all, Tesla is venturing into various areas such as the auto industry with its electic vehicles lineup.
