Tesla’s Powerwall 3 is already up for sale in the United States, and it’s set to probably go on sale later this year in Australia.
“Powerwall stores your solar energy for backup protection, so when the grid goes down your power stays on. Powerwall home battery continues Tesla’s mission and makes clean energy accessible to all, day, and night.” – Tesla
What to expect from Powerwall 3
It comes with a built-in solar inverter: The Powerwall 3 comes with an inbuilt 11.5kW solar inverter which allows solar to be connected directly for high efficiency. Tesla have not announced the Australian price, but if it’s anything like the US, it will be very similar to the Powerwall 2. As the Powerwall 3 comes with a built-in solar inverter, it’s a great price.
It has more power: While the Powerwall 3 stores the same energy as the Powerwall 2, it is said that the output had been noticeably improved, with a claim that you can probably backup an entire home with just one Powerwall 3.
It doesn’t struggle when starting up: When running off grid, most solar batteries struggle with the high influx of currents when the motor starts up. The Powerwall 3 is built with that in mind and produces 185 Amps to get the motors started.
It has bidirectional charging options: With the Powerwall 3, you only need a Tesla Wall Connector EV charger and compatible vehicle, and you can use the kWhs in your car battery as if they were in your Powerwall. Tesla states that Powershare will eventually work with the Powerwall 2, Gateway 2, and a Tesla Wall Connector.
It can be added to an existing solar system. Powerwall 3 is designed for compatibility with leading solar inverter brands, offering versatility for integration with various existing system configurations. This flexibility ensures that homeowners can easily incorporate the Powerwall 3 into their current solar setups, enhancing energy resilience and efficiency.
Note, some of the details of the Powerwall 3 have not yet been confirmed. But when it hits the Australian markets nearer the end of the year, we’ll get to experience it for ourselves. In the meantime, read up more on the Tesla website.
“Powerwall 3 is a fully integrated solar and battery system, designed to meet the needs of your home. Powerwall 3 can supply more power with a single unit and is designed for easy expansion to meet your present or future needs. 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 Powerwall 2.” – Tesla
