Tesla showed off its new at-home battery, Powerwall 2.0, during its big solar roof unveiling on Friday night.

The battery comes with incremental improvements from a technical and design standpoint. The rechargeable battery is meant to compliment Tesla's new solar roof as part of Tesla's effort to "create a clear picture of how a combined Tesla and SolarCity will make solar and storage as compelling as electric vehicles," Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote in a blog post.

Tesla is in the process of buying SolarCity in a deal worth $2.6 billion. Shareholders will vote on the proposed merger on November 17.
