Powerwall 3
Power Everything
Powerwall 3 is a fully integrated solar and battery system, designed to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. Customers can receive whole-home backup, cost savings, and energy independence by producing and consuming their own energy while participating in grid services. Once installed, customers can manage their system using the Tesla App to customize system behavior to meet their energy goals.
Powerwall 3 achieves this by supporting up to 20 kW DC of solar and providing up to 11.5 kW AC of continuous power per unit. It has the ability to start heavy loads rated up to 185 LRA, meaning a single unit can support the power needs of most homes. Powerwall 3 expansions make it easier and more affordable to scale up customers’ systems to meet their current or future needs. Powerwall 3 is designed for fast and efficient installations, modular system expansion, and simple connection to any electrical service.

Whole-Home Backup Protection
A single unit can provide whole-home backup protection during a grid outage.
One Unit Powers One Home
- Each unit has the storage capacity and efficiency to provide backup protection for the entire home.
Seamless Transition
- Units begin powering the home as soon as an outage is detected, while similar home batteries experience a delay of 2–5 seconds.
Automated Storage
- Units automatically charge to their maximum storage capacity when severe weather is forecast, ensuring maximum backup protection.
