Complete Backup Power Solution

The Powerwall 3 combines a high-performance hybrid inverter and lithium-ion battery into a single unit, delivering up to 11.04 kW of continuous AC output while storing 13.5 kWh of usable energy. The system automatically supplies backup power during grid failures and can support the electrical demands of most residential properties.

Tesla Gateway Energy Management

The included Tesla Gateway 2 acts as the intelligent control centre for the entire energy system. It continuously monitors household energy consumption, solar generation, battery status, and grid availability.

Using the Tesla mobile app, homeowners can:

• Monitor live energy production and consumption

• Track battery charge levels

• Configure backup reserve settings

• Optimise energy usage

• Receive system notifications

• Manage time-based energy usage remotely

Maximise Solar Energy

Powerwall 3 supports up to 20 kW of DC solar input with three independent MPPTs, allowing multiple solar array orientations to operate efficiently. Excess solar energy generated during the day is stored in the battery for use at night or during power outages.

Reliable Backup Protection

Powerwall automatically detects grid failures and transitions to battery power within moments, keeping essential household circuits operating without interruption. The system is capable of starting heavy electrical loads with in-rush currents of up to 185 A, making it suitable for demanding residential applications.

Applications

Ideal for:

• Residential backup power

• Whole-home energy storage

• Solar self-consumption

• Load shedding protection
