Tesla Powerwall 3 Review | The Future of Home Battery Storage?

Good video as always.

so is it possible for me with a g98 3.68kwh 10 yr old inverter on FITs able to swap out my inverter and slot this straight in, and increase my current solar pv from 4kwh (250w panels) to the max i can squeeze on my roofs all without any extra paperwork/notifications ???

Just a quick question so for me I would want the full 11kw discharge rate as I have a 10.5kw shower , but your saying that the grid decides that for me ? Or you talking about the amount of solar I can send back to the grid ?

Great video, terrific production values. Question please. I have a solar array, from early 2011 with a very high FIT payment level. Can I fit a Powerwall and still receive the same level of FIT? Also could I have another solar array too, even if it needs to be separate from the original and still receive the FIT for the original set up. Sorry for so many questions, but I'd really like a Tesla Powerwall and if possible more solar. But I'd not want to sacrifice the very good FIT I'll receive for another 12 years.

power = kw, energy = kwh, you don't store power, you store energy. This stuff is already really complicated for the average consumer, helps to use the right language.

Waiting for this to release in Australia. The variable output modes are a nice feature. The cost for installation here will be interesting. I want to change my 8Kw Fronius inverter to a Powerwall3 if it makes sense money wise . The waiting list here will be huge I imagine.

Great video as always. I am currently considering a qoute for a further 18 panels on top of 8 already ordered for the garage. One of your points made in the video is the benefits of start up voltage providing the benifits of micro invertors. My qoute includes a tesla powerwall 3 as well as 18 enphase microinvertors. Why would I need both apart from the ability to monitor each panel individually with the microinverters?

How well does this integrate with the REA Fusion 2 panels you sell? Can they be added straight to the PW3 or would you still recommend the micro inverters? If you dont need the micro inverters, and I read the installation time is hours less, I'd imagine this would be a good cost saving?

Have placed my order for PW3 and solar with Heatable - looking forward to it!

Just buy a powerwalls from BYD!

Can you install this in a garage that is part of the house? Is there a fire risk or are LPF cells not a problem when regularly charged to full on hot days?

Great video. Such a shame we can't get them in Ireland.

Another good video as always! Can you please do a bill comparison video on Efficient boilers vs Hybrid Boiler. I know they always use the cheapest option but just confused as surely gas is always the cheapest option. Needs explaining pleaae. Really looking at getting one but can see no comparable videos

if the gateway is there.. then why does it have regulations around how much battery varible output you can have? Isnt that the whole idea of the gateway to isolate you from the grid in the first place?

I note there is a Gateway 2 and a Gateway 3. I understand that the latter is simpler / cheaper and can only do whole house backup. But is a Gateway needed at all if you don’t want / need home backup (which is an off grid capability that has an EPS function to deal with power cuts)?

Thank you for informative video.

On a new build VAT can be reclaimed. Your price will include VAT (and delivery) which is charged to the customer. So how could I the end client reclaim that VAT element?. Tesla are only supplying to accredited installers wheras other products like the Givenergy All in 1 can be purchased from a wholesaler with a trade discount and vat recovered back.

Very good video, please keep the content coming. I’d like to see more solar panel installs that have shade problems.

Does the Powerwall 3 work with 3 phase, it’s a real limitation with Powerwall 2 that only 1 phase is utilised. I’m in Australia and I want the Powerwall however installers are pushing me to BYD as my house is 3 phase.

The BYD is terrible for software, doesn’t automatically switch over in power outages, it’s only benefit is it supports each phase

Question: If you can only charge a powerwall at 5kW max then whats the point of being able to hook up up to 20kW of solar into one powerwall?

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth....
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste
🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤

Can it do 3-Phase?

Can I add them to my existing PV system that has Enphase IQ8A micro-inverters. My installer says they are not COMPATIBLE. Yet I keep seeing folks say they are.

When you were talking about the pw3 discharge rate and “quote” you can choose your own setting? Is that changeable in the app for the consumer or done on installation day by the installers only.?

Can the PW3 backup a 3-phase power supply?

I believe they are working on an update so Powerwall 2 and 3 will work together

There is no Z in the name Tesla ! Let’s work on that a bit.

Got my Heatable installation date for my pw3 and solar roll on 7th October 😊

Are IQ8 inverters still required if this has a hybrid inverter? The start up voltage for the Powerall is less than the Enphase inverters?

So, the Tesla Powerwall 3 can Turn Up to 11 🕚 ! 😮😮😅😅

What about the warranty? Is the built in inverter covered for the same length of time as the battery? Inverters normaly have a much shorter warranty.

why not separated backup port only 1 port grid and back combine? very bad for me

i would love to say its great , but 20 days on after the install from heatable and its still not working. so far 0/10 from me .. I've just watched all of this , first there was no site survey done on my property to see what my current setup is and what option i many have ( i did tell heatable i had solar panels when i ordered the unit, my current solar setup has been completely ignored. So i am missing out the benefits of connecting direct to the power wall 3 ( when its working that is) , and avoiding my current older SOLIS inverter.. hmmm.............. i feel a bit short changed here by heatable. So my System is not working and should be installed more efficiently going by this video ..

Does the Gateway automatically switch to battery if there is a power cut?

Questions i thought you couldn't stack powerwall 3? Only powerwall 2 can be stacked?

Thanks for this. Just had our ECO4 installation. Wife said ‘Yes’ to Powerwall 3. Looking around for prices. EcoProviders best so far at £7,800.

What about backup generator support?

Thanks, how far can the gateway and battery be separated? The Givenergy can do up to 50mtrs. Cheers!
