Starting at some point in the first half of this year, the brand Pavilion will sell the company\'s solar roof tiles and power wall batteries at a specific location in Home Depot.
Bloomberg quoted sources familiar with the situation as saying that the company is also discussing selling products there with home improvement store Lowe\'s.
Home Depot has established partnerships with alternative energy company Solar City, which Tesla acquired in 2016, which was later phased out.
Now, Tesla will have displays 12 feet high and 7 feet wide to promote these products and, in some cases, show how they work.
It is not clear whether Tesla will eventually add kiosks to all stores in Home Depot\'s 2,200 stores.
According to USA Today, the location of Home Depot in Southern California already has kiosks, while shops in Las Vegas and Orlando are expected to open next week.
The move could be part of a broader effort by Tesla to attract mainstream consumers.
Tesla\'s solar system costs between $10,000 and $25,000, and the battery price is around $7,000.

Musk recently launched Powerwall 2, a home battery unit that can store 14 KW hours with the help of solar roof panels developed with SolarCity.
Musk said Powerwall 2 has enough power to charge the lights, sockets and refrigerators for a standard 4 bedroom home all day long.
Powerwall 2 is an improvement to the original Powerwall, which has only about half its storage capacity as a new generation.
