Key Features of the Tesla Powerwall 3

• Increased Power and Energy Capacity: The Tesla Powerwall 3 has a 13.5kWh energy storage capacity and a continuous power output of 10kW, making it significantly more powerful than its predecessor, Powerwall 2.
  
  This increase in output ensures that more household appliances or business equipment can operate simultaneously without strain, offering peace of mind during power outages or high-energy consumption periods.
  
  For those with greater energy demands, the system is scalable, allowing users to install up to four units in parallel. This makes it a highly adaptable solution for both residential and commercial applications.

• Integrated Solar Inverter: A unique feature of the Powerwall 3 is its built-in solar inverter, which eliminates the need for a separate hybrid inverter for new solar energy installations.
  
  This built-in inverter captures a higher yield of solar energy compared to conventional systems and simplifies the installation process, reducing both initial costs and complexity.

• Whole-Home Backup Power: One of the standout features of the Powerwall 3 is its ability to provide whole-home backup protection during grid outages.
  
  Homes or businesses with the Powerwall 3 will continue to have power during blackouts and the system’s automatic switchover ensures that critical appliances, such as refrigerators, lighting and security systems, remain operational without interruptions.

• Severe Weather Automated Storage: The Tesla Powerwall 3 comes equipped with a severe weather automated storage feature, which detects incoming storms or harsh weather conditions and automatically charges the battery to maximum capacity in preparation for potential power outages.

• Durability and Weather Resistance: Designed for both indoor and outdoor installation, the Powerwall 3 is highly durable and can withstand extreme environmental conditions. It can continue to function even in up to 60cm of water, making it ideal for locations prone to flooding or extreme weather.

• Time-Based Controls: With the Powerwall 3’s time-based controls, users can optimise their energy consumption and storage based on electricity rates. The system can be set to charge during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper and discharge during peak hours to save on electricity costs.

• Integration with Electric Vehicles (EVs): The Powerwall 3 can be seamlessly integrated with Tesla’s electric vehicle charging systems, creating an ecosystem where solar energy powers your EV, maximising the benefits of your renewable energy setup.

• Monitoring and Control via Tesla App: The Tesla Powerwall 3 system can be monitored and controlled through the Tesla app, which allows users to track their solar energy production, battery charge levels and overall energy usage in real time.

• By storing excess solar energy and using it during peak hours, the Powerwall 3 helps reduce reliance on fossil-fuel-generated electricity, lowering your carbon footprint. It also results in significant cost savings, particularly for those on time-of-use electricity tariffs.
