//Overview

The Tesla Powerwall 3 charges from your solar panels during the day and discharges to power your home in the evening and overnight, when you would otherwise be drawing from the grid at peak rates. In plain terms: it lets you use more of the power you already generate instead of exporting it cheaply and buying it back dear.

The headline change: the built-in inverter

According to Tesla, the Powerwall 3 builds the solar inverter into the battery, so your solar and storage run through one integrated unit rather than a separate inverter plus a separate battery. For you that means fewer components on the wall, a tidier install, and solar and storage designed to work as one system, with a single point of contact behind the core hardware for warranty and Tesla support.

//Why homes choose it

What a Powerwall 3 does for a Hunter home

Storing your own solar, trimming your grid bill and backing up your home, here is what it comes down to day to day.

Store your own solar

Use the power your panels make by day to run your home after dark, instead of exporting it cheaply and buying it back dear.

Cut your grid bill

More of the solar you generate goes into your own home, so you draw less from the grid at peak evening rates.

Blackout backup

Paired with the Backup Gateway, the Powerwall can keep your essential circuits running when the grid goes down.

One integrated unit

The solar inverter is built into the battery, per Tesla, fewer boxes on the wall and a tidier install.

Room to grow

Tesla states capacity can be increased with expansion units, so your storage can match your home over time.

Watch it in the app

Track how much solar you store, use and export through the Tesla app on your phone.

//Your solar setup

Pairing the Powerwall 3 with your solar panels

Whether the Powerwall 3 is right for you depends a lot on your panels, and there are two clear paths, one for a brand-new system, one for adding storage to solar you already have.

With new solar: because the inverter is built in, the Powerwall 3 is designed to run a new system as one matched setup from day one, panels, inverter and battery all working together.

Retrofit to existing solar: the Powerwall 3 has its own inverter, so adding it to an existing system needs a look at how it fits with your current setup rather than a straight swap. The honest answer is that it varies home to home, so we go through your existing setup with you before committing to an approach.

Backup power and the Backup Gateway

When the grid drops out, a Powerwall can keep your home running instead of leaving you in the dark. Tesla pairs the Powerwall 3 with a Backup Gateway, which manages the grid connection and switches your home over when the grid goes down, so the battery can carry your circuits within moments.

How long that backup lasts comes down to the size of your battery and what you are running. Power the essentials, lights, the fridge, internet, power points, and it stretches much further than trying to run the whole house, which is exactly why getting the sizing right matters.

Grid-connected, not off grid

The Powerwall 3 is designed for grid-connected homes with solar, backup and daily solar storage for a home that stays connected, rather than running fully off grid. If going off grid is your goal, that is a different system design worth talking through.

And to be clear: this is the battery keeping your own home powered automatically during an outage. It is not an emergency call-out service. We work business hours, and the backup here is your battery doing its job.

//How it works

How we quote and install your Powerwall 3

One local crew from the first assessment to switch-on and support, not a battery sale handed off to a separate sparky.

01
Assess

We look at your bills, your solar setup and photos of your switchboard to see what your home actually needs.

02
Size

We match the storage to your evening and overnight usage, so you buy what you will use and nothing you will not.

03
Quote

You get an upfront price with the rebates you are eligible for already applied, no headline number.

04
Install

One licensed crew fits the battery, the Backup Gateway and any switchboard or wiring work it needs.

05
Commission

We test the system, connect it to the Tesla app and walk you through how it runs.

06
Support

A local team you can reach for warranty and questions long after switch-on.

Sizing and stacking

You are not limited to one battery. Tesla states capacity can be increased with expansion units. A single unit suits many homes; larger households, higher evening use or a bigger solar array may point to more capacity. We size it off your actual usage rather than guess.

Planning an EV too?

If a home charger is on the horizon, it is worth planning the battery, solar and EV charging together, the same crew can wire the lot and make sure your switchboard is ready for all of it, done once.

//Pricing

Powerwall 3 cost and rebates for Australian homeowners

The honest answer is that it depends on your system, the install and any electrical work involved, so there is no single sticker price we would quote as fact. What we can say is that rebates meaningfully improve the payback for Australian homeowners.

We keep the current rebate detail on one page. See our solar rebates guide for what is on offer and who qualifies. When we quote, we apply the rebates you are eligible for so you see the real out-of-pocket cost, not a headline number.

  • Your solar setup: a new system or a retrofit to existing panels
  • Total storage: a single unit or added expansion capacity
  • Any switchboard or electrical work the install needs
  • Single-phase or three-phase supply
  • Backup scope: essential circuits or a larger part of the home
  • The rebates you are eligible for, applied when we quote

//FAQs

Tesla Powerwall 3 FAQs

Still not sure?

Talk to a licensed local electrician, no obligation, straight answers.

What is the Tesla Powerwall 3?

It is Tesla’s home battery. It stores the solar energy your panels make during the day so you can use it at night and keep power through a blackout, and it is monitored through the Tesla app.

Does the Powerwall 3 have a built-in inverter?

Yes. Tesla states the Powerwall 3 has an integrated solar inverter, so your solar panels and storage run through one unit rather than a separate inverter and battery.

What battery capacity and continuous power does the Powerwall 3 have?

Tesla publishes around 13.5 kWh of usable capacity and up to around 10 kW of continuous power per unit, using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells. These are Tesla’s manufacturer figures, which we confirm against Tesla’s current Australian datasheet as part of your quote.

Can the Powerwall 3 work with my existing solar systems?

It depends on your current setup and inverter. Because the Powerwall 3 has its own built-in inverter, adding it to an existing system needs a proper assessment rather than being a straight swap. We work through your inverter, your panels and a few photos of the switchboard, then tell you plainly whether it suits your home.

How much does the Powerwall 3 cost?

It depends on your system, the install and any electrical work involved, and rebates change the final figure, so we do not quote a fixed price as fact. We keep the rebate detail current on our solar rebates guide and apply what you are eligible for when we quote.

Can I add more than one battery?

Yes. Tesla states expansion capacity can be added to increase your storage, so you can match total capacity to how much power your home uses in the evening and overnight.

Will the Powerwall 3 power my whole home in a blackout?

It depends on your capacity, your load and how the system and Backup Gateway are set up. Powering essentials, lights, the fridge, internet, power points, lasts much longer than running the whole house. This is the battery keeping your own home powered during an outage, not an emergency call-out service.
