What is a Tesla Powerwall 3?

Tesla Powerwall 3 is a fully integrated solar and battery system that allows you to become more energy-independent and less reliant on rising grid electricity bills.

Powerwall 3 stores solar energy for backup protection, this means that if you experience a power cut your power stays on. The Powerwall home battery continues Tesla’s epic mission to make clean energy accessible, day and night in the fight to bring down energy costs. The Powerwall 3’s battery storage system offers significant advantages, including increased capacity, durability, and enhanced energy independence for homeowners.

Of course, Tesla Powerwall is at the forefront of technology and can be monitored and managed using the Tesla app to customise the system and will learn your behaviour to meet your energy goals. Powerwall 3 also features a built-in solar inverter, simplifying installation and enhancing efficiency by connecting the solar panels directly to the battery.

Tesla Powerwall 3 can supply more power than previous versions and is designed for easy expansion to meet your future needs or when your budget allows. The installation costs remain similar to previous versions due to streamlined processes. It is also compatible with existing solar systems, allowing homeowners to retrofit and enhance their current energy setups without disruption.

Powerwall 3 features an integrated solar inverter allowing solar to be connected directly for high efficiency; it can also be added to existing solar or installed on its own, like the Powerwall 2.

At Aspect Group Services, we are proud to be a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installers having installed multiple Tesla batteries in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire covering East Anglia, providing a local solution with expert advice and installation.

What’s the difference between the Powerwall 2 & Tesla Powerwall 3?

The main differences between the Powerwall 2 and the Powerwall 3 come in the form of the integrated solar inverter and the improved continuous power output, which enhances the handling of larger appliances and overall power capabilities.

The reality of this means the electricity produced by your solar array will be fed directly into the battery and is then stored, which will then convert to AC electricity when it’s needed, reducing the amount of power conversions needed and thus increasing the efficiency. Additionally, the power output improvements from Powerwall 2 to Powerwall 3 allow for handling greater energy demands in a household, including backing up multiple appliances during power outages.

Ultimately, this will improve the overall efficiency of storage, from 90% up to 97.5% round trip efficiency.

The latest Features: integrated solar inverter

  • Industry leading Warranties – 10 years Comprehensive warranty, all-inclusive with unlimited charge cycles. 80% energy retention after 10 years and 100% depth of discharge.
  • Maximise your usage with system expansion – The Powerwalls are designed to allow ‘stacking’ of up to 4 units as your household energy needs increase. Up to 3 DC expansion packs can be added to each Powerwall anytime.
  • Active thermal management – Redesigned active thermal management system to enhance performance and efficiency.
  • Integrated Solar inverter – Efficiently converts solar energy into stored electricity, allowing the system to capture more solar energy in the process.
  • Battery inverter – Hybrid inverters integrate both solar and battery inverters, enhancing panel and battery storage capacity. They provide flexibility in complying with DNO restrictions while optimizing system performance.
  • Storm Watch – The new Powerwall will be able to back-up your supply in the event of a power cut – with this intelligent feature Powerwall 3 is always on ‘storm watch’! – This means the unit will automatically charge to a maximum storage capacity when severe weather is forecast, making sure you have maximum backup protection.
  • Tesla App – Owners can monitor their entire system, view and manage their energy flow through the Tesla app so they can become more energy aware and efficient. By integrating your solar panel system with Tesla Powerwall you can be your own energy provider.
  • Shade… What Shade?: The integrated inverter will be rated at a massive 11.5kW, allowing a large sized solar PV system to be attached. It also has 6 MPPT inputs which will cover the majority of installations shading requirements. Maximising solar power potential through advanced technologies like the Powerwall 3 ensures better energy harvesting and independence from the grid.
  • Residential Scale Solar Inverters: Residential scale solar inverters with multiple MPPT capabilities are highly beneficial. They allow homeowners to effectively utilize different roof orientations and manage shading issues, making these inverters more efficient and versatile in maximising solar energy capture.
  • Ultimate Generation from Powerwall 3: With up to 20 kW DC supported for solar it also provides 11.04 kW AC of continuous power per unit. It has the ability to store up to 13.5 kWh of energy and start heavy loads rated up to 185 A LRA, meaning a single Powerwall 3 can support the power needs of most homes.

Should you Invest in a Tesla Powerwall Battery?

Whether you are looking to expand your existing solar system, or looking to capitalise on reduced night energy tariffs, utilising a battery system, such as Tesla Powerwall 3 can help you save money on your energy bills. Battery storage is becoming a popular way for homeowners to dip their toe into the world of energy independence, especially as solar panels can be retrofitted to the system.
