The Tesla Powerwall 3 has arrived…

The pioneering Tesla Powerwall has brought innovative battery storage solutions to homes around the globe. With its sleek and compact design, the Powerwall offers energy storage with maximum efficiency – enabling you to use excess power day or night, giving you energy independence from the grid and offering whole-home optimized back-up.

And Tesla have now introduced their latest product to the UK market – The Powerwall 3.

The Powerwall 3 is unrivalled; providing double the power output compared to the Powerwall 2. It has been designed for efficiency, offering more power and flexibility within a single sleek unit, whilst guaranteeing ultimate compatibility with the Tesla Ecosystem for energy management with ease.

Here at GB Solar, we have highlighted some of the most noted and innovative features to give you a complete overview of the latest Tesla home solution..

More Power and Flexibility:

  • Increased power output: The Powerwall 3 has a built-in inverter, which can output between 3.68kW and reach 11.5kW. Compared to the Powerwall 2, this is a significant jump in continuous power output – a 130% increase to be exact.
  • Higher load starting: The Powerwall 3 can handle larger loads with a 185 amp load start rating, 75% more than the Powerwall 2.
  • Expandable design: Your system can be expanded with up to 3 additional batteries, to reach a total capacity of 54 kWh. This gives home owners the flexibility to design a larger system customised to their needs.

Designed for Efficiency:

  • Integrated inverter: The Powerwall 3 incorporates an integrated inverter, eliminating the need for a separate unit. This gives a cleaner looking system with less components, and streamlines the installation process.
  • Optimized energy : The Powerwall 3 benefits from 3 built-in Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) that optimize energy production from your solar panels under varying conditions including shading.
  • Solar system compatibility: The Powerwall 3 can handle up to 20 kW of solar input, making it suitable for even larger solar panel systems.

Element Protection:

  • The Powerwall 3 is built to withstand extreme weather conditions, giving you more flexibility in choosing an indoor or outdoor installation. This unit can operate in varying temperatures from -20 degrees to 50 degrees. In addition, the Powerwall 3 will maintain normal operation in flooding of up to 60cm.
  • Storm Watch feature: The Powerwall 3 can cleverly detect power outages, charging to full capacity in preparation for grid failure. The Powerwall 3 will then become the home’s sole energy source to maintain essential appliances.

Additional Features:

  • Cheaper Electricity Bills: The Powerwall 3 benefits from time-based control, giving you the option to charge from the grid when prices are lower, and switch to using your stored energy when the electricity prices are higher.
  • Tesla Ecosystem: As you would expect, the Powerwall 3 is fully integrated with the Tesla App, giving you complete control of your energy management and monitoring.
  • Charging your Tesla EV: Off-grid charging? No problem! The Powerwall 3 offers charging features such as ‘Charge on Solar’ – meaning you can charge your Tesla EV using only the excess energy produced by your system.

As certified Tesla Energy Installers, GB Solar are both experienced and knowledgeable of Tesla Products.

We are now taking pre-orders for the Tesla Powerwall 3.

You can order yours now for Winter Power Outage protection. We estimate these will be landing with wholesalers in the coming months, with installs starting from October….
