Key Features of the Tesla Powerwall 3

The Tesla Powerwall has a strong reputation as a trusted home battery – a reliable backup energy source for homeowners with solar panel systems. This is even more true with the recently launched Tesla Powerwall 3.

The Tesla Powerwall 3 builds on the features of the Powerwall 2, with a few notable spec upgrades for the latest model of Tesla’s solar panel battery:

Powerwall 3 storage capacity (size of the storage “tank”) is unchanged at 13.5kWh, but the continuous power output of 11.5kW (size of the “pipe” delivering power to and from the unit) is more than 2x the Powerwall 2

Improved 185 LRA rating (70% higher than the Powerwall 2) means you can start large appliances like your HVAC during an outage with a single Powerwall

Hardware integrated into a single unit for faster installation and a more affordable price

Built to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures (-4F to 120F), high altitudes, and flooding (submersible up to 28 inches of water)

Up to 4 units of the Tesla Powerwall 3 can be strung together for scalability, bringing homeowners a range of power backup options.

The Powerwall 3 is a reliable and cost-effective solar battery and energy management system with better performance and affordability than ever before.

Tesla Electric

Tesla Electric is a retail electricity provider that powers residential customer homes in the competitive electricity markets of Texas (in the CenterPoint, Oncor, and AEP territories) with sustainable electricity in Texas. This virtual power plant program is analogous to a “utility” company. Homeowners pay their monthly electric bill to Tesla Electric. Powerwall customers can earn $400 per year for each Powerwall enrolled and receive additional credits for every kWh sent to the grid. Sign up is easy through the Tesla app post-install. There are no hidden fees, breakup fees minimum usage charges, or monthly base fees.

Is the Tesla Powerwall worth it?

There’s no doubt that adding the Tesla Powerwall to your home solar power system is a great investment. It’s normal for your solar panels to generate more power than you are using during the day. You can store this extra energy in the Powerwall battery, giving you the option to have clean energy available at night when the sun isn’t shining.

The main benefit is that you can maintain security if power outages occur, reducing your reliance on the grid.

There are many benefits of the Tesla Powerwall. To see if this system is a good investment with your solar panel system, it’s important to look at your energy requirements and consumption patterns.

Once you’ve decided that you want to move forward with a Powerwall installation, it can be helpful to talk to a solar expert about your unique situation. You can get personalized recommendations to design the ideal system for your home.

How much does the Tesla Powerwall cost?

If you are looking to pair your solar panels with a reliable home battery backup, so you always have power – even when the sun isn’t shining – the market-leading Tesla products are a great option to consider. Tesla is the market leader in solar batteries, and the Powerwall offers a competitive price point compared to other energy storage products on the market.

You may be wondering if a solar battery will save you money. Energy storage prices have fallen 50% in the last year alone and almost 90% over the past decade (source: Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables and the American Clean Power Association). Still, for most homeowners, the decision to purchase a battery is based more on the desire for protection from power outages and energy independence rather than achieving a financial return. You will have peace of mind knowing you always have access to a reliable solar battery backup.

When you are getting an estimate for your Tesla Powerwall, look at the breakdown for materials and labor, as well as the up to 30% federal tax credit that can dramatically reduce the cost of your system. Also, consider the size of your home and normal energy usage. For example, you might need to install multiple Powerwall units if you want enough backup power for the whole home.

Talk to our solar installation team for a detailed estimate to determine whether you want to include the Powerwall as part of your installation.

What is the warranty on the Tesla Powerwall?

Tesla offers a 10-year warranty on the Powerwall, which covers equipment (shipping included), labor, and production guaranteed to 70% of power capacity at the end of 10 years.

Can I add Powerwall 3 to Powerwall 2?

Unfortunately, the Powerwall 3 is not backward compatible and cannot be combined with an existing Powerwall 2 in a single system.

How many Powerwalls do I need?

The number of Powerwalls that is right for your home depends on your electricity usage and how you’re planning to use your stored power (for example, charging your EV at night vs. keeping power during an extended outage, or how much of your normal energy usage you’re willing to conserve during an extended outage). We will meet with you to assess your needs and help you make an informed decision.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We ordered our Tesla battery to augment our already installed solar array. We called right after the big winter storm in February 2021. Understandably, there was a six month wait. But the team made it as easy as possible. They handled literally all the paperwork. I filled everything out once. Then as each part of the process, such as permitting, came up they sent the already filled paperwork to the responsible party. It was almost like having a full concierge service. As for solar and a battery. We have 20 panels and a single Tesla power wall. We have an older pool pump and a 2400 square foot home. Two adults working from home. The pump on the pool runs 8 hours a day. With the battery we are 50% to 70% self powered monthly. It is a balance with winter months not being so sunny and also not needing to run the AC. The benefit I didn’t really understand until seeing it was that the battery could hold us over almost all night. It was cheaper to use our own power from the battery then it is to send power back to the grid. IE. You send power back at x rate and get a credit. But use power later in the day at y rate. Y rate always ended up more costly then x rate. So better to just keep our power and use it our self. The real benefit is that we literally could power our house with no pool for a few days if it got bad with some solar production. The battery can also be notified of a storm and hold on to a 100% charge plus get power from the grid to get there. It won’t save you a TON of money. But it gives us a ton of peace of mind. Plus feels good to not rely so heavily on the Texas grid.

I’ve only had my battery for a week and it’s already backed up the house 4 times; three 15-minute power outages; this past Tuesday morning I noticed I was on the battery for just over 6 hours; turns out the grid was having multiple power surges (as high as 257.5v) and the Tesla system detected these surges and went into its “back-up mode,” separating from the grid and going to battery power…the Tesla battery is expensive but IS worth the cost. So far I have no regrets, and don’t expect any.

Installed Solar and Tesla Powerwall 2 in January 2021. Then the storm of all storms hit in mid-February with 9 days of below freezing temps. The setup never missed a beat and exceeded my expectations. We never lost power throughout the entire storm and the Powerwall was the primary reason for that success. Everything that was discussed in the installation review and how it would perform was spot on!!!!
Steve S.
Austin, TX
At first I was very hesitant to even consider the product, however after much review, research and the teams answering my questions I decided to go ahead and install the Solar System with Battery backup power. I am convinced that I have made an excellent investment, and that the team installing my equipment did it with absolute professionalism. Here is a extra star * for ensuring great (Customer Success). Thank you!

Highly recommend Freedom Solar if you’re considering solar panels and/or Tesla Powerwalls. They were AWESOME to work with, from the first phone call to…well, I’d say the last communication, but our solar consultant, Walter Anoruo, has been great at texting to keep in touch and checking in on our production, so there hasn’t been a last! We had 22 solar panels and 2 Tesla Powerwall 2s installed. Started the process in August and everything was closed out in late October. Some other takeaways:
– Responsive and customer-oriented:
As soon as I called for the first time to get a quote, they picked up (which, apparently, some of their other competitors have difficulty doing…i.e., Texas Solar Outfitters) and were extremely helpful off the bat. After asking some general questions about what we were looking for, they scheduled a solar consultant meeting just a few days later. Throughout the process, the Freedom team did a fantastic job at keeping in touch and being available for any questions. I could email, text, call, whatever, anyone on the team any time of the day and folks would be so responsive.
– High quality product and install:
We were really drawn to the fact that Freedom is a one-stop-shop for the Maxeon (previously SunPower) panels (which, after a fair amount of research, we do believe to be the best out there). We’re only a couple months into the installation, but so far so good. Everything is working exactly as described.
– Streamlined/easy process:
Freedom took care of all the permitting, etc., and so we found the installation process to be extremely streamlined. They also have a relationship with Green Sky bank to offer 0% financing (which we are utilizing). They’ll even submit the application for you, so again, everything was just so easy.”

Peace of mind. Great working with Zach Stirling and all the crew at Freedom Solar. The process was transparent and went as promised. The system delivers exactly as advertised and I couldn’t be happier. It’s wonderful to be contributing to the environment while maintaining peace of mind with Tesla Powerwall backup when the grid goes down.”
David H.
Georgetown, TX
They installed my Tesla powerwall 2s just how I wanted them to be and everything was within spec so that I wouldn’t have any warranty issues due to how I had them mounted. Great service and very professional. They answered all my questions before, during, and after the install.
