Is The Tesla Powerwall 3 Worth It? | Green Power Energy

I'm in Australia, have solar, a Tesla powerwall 2, and technically, I'm still a ways behind financially, BUT... I'm the only one in my street with power when there is a blackout. I'm the only one not paying peak power rates between 3pm and 11pm, and, I can export power during those peak hours, maximising my ROI. And, best of all, I don't have to draw power from the grid during those hours, thereby reducing pollution. I still do use TINY amounts of grid power on the odd occasion though, because I live in a small house with a small roof. So, is the Powerwall worth it? You betcha.

We have the older generation power walls in two houses. They rock.

It shouldn't cost more than USD2500. Otherwise Elon is raking in 1000% profit!

I have a Powerwall 2 but would never buy another Tesla product. When Musk moved to Texas he dropped the facade and revealed he’s just another as——- plutocrat. And since he suddenly fired the supercharging staff for his flagship vehicles with no notice, I don’t see him as anymore reliable as a battery vendor. He’d have no qualms about bricking the Powerwalls on a whim.

Can I ask, what happens if you already have an inverter? Can you disable the powerwall 3's built in inverter?

Hopefully this thing will become the de-facto industry standard and henceforth the other guys will offer clones with basically the same spec. When these other guys do that, hopefully prices will drop, like we so badly need.

My house has a 14Kw solar array and 2 x 5Kw inverters, with the PW3, would I need 2 of these to cover my 2 inverters?

Why have they integrated an inverter with every PW?

can this be AC coupled?

Would PW 3 provide uninterrupted service if the main power goes down?
We don't have solar roof but are getting a CT. We currently have a refreshed MS and a changer. Do we need additional connection to hookup CT to use it as a giant battery, if needed?
How much does a PW3 and all the installation cost?
Thank you.

Speak your is like we are 10-year olds. Will the battery take care of all the energy we need overnight?

How much battery do we need to take care of our electricity over night? I know every household is different but generally speaking with using the AC?

Never worth it to install solar or batteries unless the utilities work with you and buy your excess power otherwise it will never pay for itself before it is useless...

This is sales crap, none of this is worth it in America unless your KWH charge is over 25cent kwh...

What are the cons of having a Gateway 3 with existing solar?

Short answer: NOT WORTH IT. Tesla will oversell you EVERYTHING. I've been running my 30kwh on a whole house for years and paid less than $5k for it, back then. Tesla doesn't reinvent stuff, they buy the same stuff and put Tesla on it. Do your homework...

How does this even come close to being worth it? A 13.5kW batter is about half of what my property uses in one day. So, I'm supposed to spend $10,000 for a half day's power? Absurd.
