**APIs profiled:** 10

Tesla Energy is Tesla's solar generation and battery storage business unit, encompassing residential Powerwall, utility-scale Megapack, retrofit solar panels, and the Solar Roof. The Fleet API exposes energy_sites endpoints that let partners and owners read live power, calendar history, and site info, and write backup reserve, operation mode (self_consumption, backup, autonomous), storm mode, time-of-use settings, and off-grid vehicle charging reserve — the same control surface that powers the Tesla app and integrators like Autobidder, Tesla Electric (virtual power plant), and third-party home energy dashboards.
