With the backdrop of a dual carbon policy, the world is entering a new era of energy storage. Particularly in Europe and other regions, as we look towards 2022, the steadily rising energy costs and electricity prices in Europe, coupled with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and major power outages overseas, have led to high electricity costs and poor power stability for residents, resulting in a surge in the household photovoltaic market and an unexpected explosion in the household energy storage market.

In an era of growing demand for energy storage solutions, the market is more competitive than ever. Tesla, a world-renowned electric car manufacturer, launched Powerwall in 2015 and it has become one of the most popular home energy storage systems on the market. However, is Tesla the best battery supplier? While Tesla is famous worldwide, many distributors choose other leading energy storage options by comparing them.

In this article, we will compare Tesla and MeritSun by going over the basic of cooperation advantages.

Battery series

Take MeritSun and Tesla as an example, we will analyze them from different aspects as follow:

MeritSun is committed to lifepo4 battery for 24 years and leading the market with advanced battery technologies and flexible cooperation with the distributors. When it comes to households energy storage, the advantages of them are: 

1/ Comprehensive battery series, capacity from 5-30kWh according to customers' real requirements

2/ Various installation options: wall-mounted/vertical/wheels/stackable installation design

3/ Appearance/function customize acceptable for distributors to satisfy the market

4/ Cooperation: battery delivery is flexible without any other bundle sales

Tesla is known for the Powerwall series provides dealers with brand effect, bundled with a series of solar products to arrange sets of sales:

1/ Capacity options: 13.5/14kWh only

2/ Installation option: wall-mounted

3/ Customize service: only Tesla brand with the complete battery set not accept the function customized

4/ Cooperation: bundled with other Tesla solar products(such as panels) and cannot be purchase  independently

Battery material

The choice of raw materials used in battery technology is crucial. Tesla's Powerwall uses lithium-ion batteries with a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) chemistry, which is known for its high energy density but also has some drawbacks, such as reduced lifespan and potential safety hazards.

On the other hand, MeritSun's batteries are made with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, which has a longer lifespan and is inherently safer due to its stable chemical properties.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries also have a higher ability to withstand high temperatures, making them more suitable for use in warm climates or areas with frequent temperature fluctuations. Additionally, they have a lower risk of thermal runaway or fire, making them a safer choice for residential and commercial energy storage applications.

Price

Tesla implements a regional deals system, and the profits are limited because of high price transparency. The high-end international brands and bundled sales have resulted in high prices and severely compressed profit margins.

MeritSun has strict price control regularly with different distributors' levels to protect their market, with the best price and customers will no need to worry about the price war to provide customers with affordable energy solutions. 

Delivery solutions

In terms of regional cooperation, Tesla's collaboration with dealers is currently limited in several global regions, and additional dealers joining the partnership may face delays in receiving feedback and require approval from local regional representatives. The limitation makes dealers more inclined to partner with other brands.

MeritSun provides customers with flexible delivery solutions to help speed up delivery time, allowing dealers to receive batteries in a timely manner and enter the market quickly to gain more market share and expand their market to meet high market demand. In terms of basic quality assurance processes, MeritSun has always been able to provide prompt response services to resolve technical issues, improve dealer market competitiveness, and help them meet the needs of end-users.

Customize service

Tesla only makes its own brand and the product series is single(Powerwall series), it only provides existing product series and does not support function customization. It may make customers difficult to expand and satisfy the market needs.

MeritSun is dedicated to delivering high-quality LiFePO4 batteries to customers through its professional R&D teams and continuous technological advancements. With a strong focus on innovation, MeritSun has the ability to develop new technologies and offer cutting-edge solutions. This not only ensures the superior performance of their batteries but also enables distributors to customize exclusive battery models with multiple functions and characteristics, catering to the diverse requirements of the market. By partnering with MeritSun, distributors can confidently provide their customers with reliable and efficient energy storage solutions that align with the latest industry standards and advancements.

Warranty & Assurance

The dealer's system implemented by Tesla leads to customer after-sales problems that can only be resolved through the agency layer by layer, which will take a long waiting time and make it impossible to respond to the problem in a timely manner.

MeritSun provides comprehensive pre-sales and after-sales service with a professional team to provide service 24/7, helping customers solve problems in time and providing technical training to help them improve market competitiveness. Customers do not need to worry about technical issues at any time because MeritSun will help them to expand the market.
