Powerwall 3 can supply more power with a single unit and is designed for easy
Let’s just let that land for a moment! The advantages of the built-in inverter include cost savings, and it’s also fewer separate pieces of equipment which helps with space constraints as well as aesthetics and the electricians'' time and energy running conduit between elements.
On a technical level (skip to the next paragraph if you can’t handle a little engineering) with other batteries such as Franklin or Powerwall 2, we would need more units to connect up larger solar capacity systems. A maximum of 10 kW of solar arrays per battery was our limit. Now with the built-in inverter, we can install just one battery for up to 20 kW of solar. We will continue to realistically recommend 14-15 kW of solar per Powerwall 3 generally to avoid clipping, but this is still 50% higher than the previous energy storage system options we had, except for Enphase.
The customization of Tesla Powerwall 3 to meet your household’s energy goals continues once it’s been installed. Your system’s behavior can and will adjust to better react to and anticipate your energy usage and integrate seamlessly into your life.
For those customers who already have Powerwall 2, it will potentially be possible by the end of 2025 to integrate a Powerwall 3 alongside it for additional capacity and features.
The Ipsun Solar team recently completed Powerwall 3 training with Tesla, reuniting with some of our own team members who previously worked alongside them on solar installation projects.
“Seeing my old coworkers reminded me of the great times we had on the roof, I will never forget the camaraderie we had on the installation crew. We became family before we set installations records, and I think that was an integral part of our success. That level of trust and synergy is hard to find especially under immense pressure. It doesn’t matter where we end up, the friendships we made along the way go further than our place of employment. This is why I love solar, it’s a community of people tied together by strong bonds and a vision for a cleaner future.”

During an outage, its performance will be similar to Powerwall 2. Just like its predecessor, it will avoid being drained to 100% and so will keep an emergency reserve of restart energy, to turn on itself and the solar energy system.
It will be able to discharge 2x more power than the Franklin or the previous Powerwall 2 batteries (note this doesn’t refer to storage “space” but to how much power it can supply at one time.
Adding a second Powerwall 3 can be done in two ways, choose between:
Adding a second Powerwall 3 with an inverter built-in, which can double the storage capacity but also allow double the energy to be pulled from the batteries at once. Note that option would require a second disconnect.
Ipsun is gratified to provide excellent home energy storage systems to those who need reliable energy most. More and more we hear from homeowners in certain areas of Maryland and Virginia where low quality electric service plagues neighborhoods. We didn’t realize how stressful this can be and we are proud to help make sure that families who depend on refrigeration for insulin, air conditioning for sensitive individuals and health concerns, web servers for work, and more, to have virtually uninterrupted energy without the noise and energy inefficiency of a generator.
Talk with an Ipsun Solar representative right away to get on our interested clients list so we can quickly hook you up with a Powerwall 3 as soon as we can get them.
I've always read that if you wanted to add batteries to existing solar system, you would need to go with powerwall 2. It now seems that powerwall 3 is the single solution for both when you get tesla solar panels or to add batteries to an existing system. There also a FAQ about California NEM 2 that I think is incorrect or misleading. I have solar and want to add batteries but the answer makes it sound like I would lose my NEM 2 status...
Yes. Californian utilities administering NEM 2.0 have indicated that any change to the currently approved system design, following April 14, 2023, would mean that interconnection applications are no longer valid. If you are changing to Powerwall 3, you will need to enroll in the new Net Billing Tariff.
