Amid material shortages creating backlogs for its Powerwall storage products, Tesla reported declining solar deployment in the past three months.
Tesla’s second quarter report for 2021 shows it deployed 85 megawatts of solar, down from Q1’s deployment of 92 megawatts. However, this is a 215% increase when compared to Q2 of 2020, where only 27 megawatts were deployed. According to its Q2 2021 report, Solar Roof deployments "grew substantially" both year over year and sequentially in Q2, though the report didn't provide figures.
