Resolving Access Challenges for Your Solar Portal
⚠️ Forgot Password
Cause: You cannot recall your Tesla Account password.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. On the login screen, click the 'Forgot password?' link. Enter your email address and follow the prompts to reset your password. You may also need to check your recovery email if you don't have access to your primary email.
⚠️ Cannot Access Billing Portal
Cause: Experiencing issues navigating to or opening the billing section after logging into your Tesla Account.
Solution: Ensure you are logged into your main Tesla Account, then select your solar product and look for the 'Billing Portal' or 'Manage' option. If the problem persists, directly contact Tesla's customer support for assistance.
⚠️ MySolarCity Account No Longer Works
Cause: Attempting to log into the old MySolarCity portal or app.
Solution: All SolarCity accounts were migrated to the Tesla Account and Tesla app by August 15, 2019. Use your Tesla Account credentials. If you haven't logged into your Tesla Account before, your account was likely created with your MySolarCity email, and you might need to perform a password reset for the Tesla Account.
Fortifying Your Tesla Solar Account Against Threats
- 🔒 Strong Password Practices: Create a unique, complex password for your Tesla Account that combines letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using this password for any other online service.
- 🔒 Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): This critical security feature adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second verification step, like a code from an authenticator app, in addition to your password.
- 🔒 Recognize Phishing Attempts: Be highly suspicious of emails or messages asking for your login credentials. Tesla will never ask for your password directly via email or phone. If in doubt, contact support through official channels.
- 🔒 Regular Account Review: Periodically log in and review your account activity and settings to ensure everything is in order.
- 🔒 Keep Contact Information Updated: Ensure your email and phone number are current in your Tesla Account for password recovery and important notifications.

Your Top Questions About Tesla Solar Account Management
Q: How do I access my SolarCity billing portal now?
If you were a SolarCity customer, your billing portal is now integrated within your Tesla Account. Simply log into your Tesla Account at tesla.com/teslaaccount, select your solar product, and navigate to the 'Billing Portal' or 'Manage' section. The old MySolarCity accounts are no longer active.
Q: Can I monitor my solar production on my computer's web browser?
No, solar system production monitoring is primarily available through the Tesla app on your mobile device. The Tesla Account on a desktop browser is for managing billing details, documents, and account information, not for real-time production monitoring.
Q: What's the difference between my Tesla Account and the Tesla app for solar energy?
Your Tesla Account (accessed via web browser) is designed for comprehensive account management, including tracking orders, managing personal information, reviewing documents, and accessing the billing portal. The Tesla app (mobile application) focuses on real-time system monitoring, energy production data, and some user access management for your energy system.
Q: I forgot my Tesla Solar account password. How can I reset it?
You can reset your password by visiting the Tesla account login page and clicking on 'Forgot password?'. You'll need to enter the email address associated with your Tesla Account and follow the instructions sent to your email to set a new password.
Q: Where can I find my solar billing statements and payment history?
After logging into your Tesla Account, select your Tesla energy product, then navigate to the 'Billing Portal'. Within this section, you'll find options to view your invoices, payment history, and past statements.
