A vertically integrated product from hardware design and sourcing to software development, Megapack offers significant reliability advantages
over the competition. These design advantages are exemplified by a cooling system optimized specifically for Megapack that provides superior
heating and cooling while factoring its HVAC energy consumption into its performance, and module-level DC/DC converters that can keep the
system running uninterrupted in case of a partial failure.

Megapack is shipped onsite fully assembled and pre-tested, offering customers the world's fastest utility-scale energy storage installation. Once
on site, Megapack only requires seismic anchoring and connection of AC conductors and a communication cable. The EPC benefit is clear: no
other current utility-scale solution offers such a simplified process.

PV DC-COUPLED SPECIFICATIONS
Megapack is capable of being the grid connection point for solar PV plants. This is accomplished by integrating solar PV with
Megapack using a Tesla PV Sidecar: a 16 input PV combiner box with disconnects and zonal monitoring. By eliminating the separate
PV inverter, Tesla's DC-integrated solution reduces system level costs and minimizes the number of power conversion steps to
improve overall site level efficiency. The Megapack architecture supports a wide range of DC/AC (solar PV) and power-energy
(storage) ratios, providing the flexibility to optimize for any PV plus storage use case. Integrating the entire plant with a single control
system, Tesla's solution provides a fast, seamless, and robust platform for solar PV ramp control and firm or dispatchable renewable
power generation.
