Tesla Powerwall 3: A Review

Renewable energy is vital to saving our planet, and with 1.4 million, or around 5%, of UK homes currently supported by solar panels, we are certainly taking steps in the right direction. But how reliable is this? Solar energy is vulnerable to weather disruption, and that often leaves people wondering if it’s a useful source of energy. 

This is where Tesla’s new and improved Powerwall 3 steps in, storing excess solar energy for use during these times of unreliability. This ground-breaking piece of tech negates one of the primary issues with solar energy, providing the reliability of fossil fuels, with the environmental and economic benefits of solar. 

What is Tesla Powerwall 3

The Tesla Powerwall 3 is the latest model in the powerwall line, and it seems to just blow the competition out of the water.

Like previous models, this system boasts an impressive 13.5 kWh energy capacity, with a much improved 11.5 kW continuous on-grid power supply. Comparing this to the 5 kW continuous provided by Powerwall 2, you can see why we’re getting excited about this new system.

On top of this, Powerwall 3 is highly scalable. For bigger buildings such as offices or workshops, a system expansion of up to 40.5 kWh per unit is available, meaning there is plenty of scope for growth, providing both economical and environmental benefits for your business.

Is Tesla Powerwall 3 worth it?

The Powerwall 3 system eliminates the need to draw energy from the local grid during times where solar isn’t able to provide enough energy to power our homes. With a seamless backup transition, and the ability to consistently support the energy requirements of most homes, Powerwall was designed with the focus of helping the people play their part in saving the environment and their money.

Key selling points of the Powerwall 3 include flood and dust resistance, an upgrade on the water and dust resistance of the previous Powerwall models. Combine this with the 10 year warranty included, and the easy compatibility with EV chargers and both commercial and domestic solar infrastructure, and we can safely say that the Powerwall 3 is worth it. 

Does Powerwall 3 work without solar?

Tesla Powerwall 3 is still great for those without solar. This rechargeable battery system charges itself when utility costs are low, and powers your home when they’re high. Creating a long term solution to ever-increasing household bills is just one of many benefits of this innovative product. Also, both with or without solar, Powerwall will automatically detect power lows/outages and instantly become the main power source for your home, keeping your house running even when most houses won’t be.

Tesla Powerwall 3 dimensions

The Tesla Powerwall 3 is 1105 millimetres high, 609 millimetres wide, and 193 millimetres deep. This means that, whilst it’s a very powerful and beneficial piece of technology, the powerwall doesn’t take up much space at all. It’s suitable to be fitted basically anywhere in the house, and it’s even designed to be able to be fitted outside given that it is entirely weatherproof. 

Powerwall 3 overview

To recap, here is a short overview of the benefits of the Tesla Powerwall System: 

• Reduced energy bills - this system stores excess solar energy or off peak electricity that your house draws, then allows this to be used during times of higher use. You can also sell excess energy back to the grid.
   
• Backup power - in the event of a powercut, most households are left completely in the dark. Tesla Powerwall 3 allows the use of stored energy during these moments, supporting multiple devices and appliances at the same time.
   
• Reduced carbon footprint - especially when combined with solar panels, the powerwall 3 reduces your reliance on fossil fuel energy from the grid. You can use electricity daily with the knowledge that you’re helping to look after our world.
   
• 10 year warranty - with such a long warranty, you can be sure your investment will save you money in the long run. There’s nothing worse than spending a lot of money on something which breaks down after a couple of years, then having to spend even more on repairs or replacement.
