Keeping your Tesla fully charged and on the road with the Tesla Powerwall 3
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 behaviour to meet their energy goals.
Powerwall 3 achieves this by supporting up to 20 kW DC of solar and providing 11.5 kW AC of continuous power per unit. It has the ability to start heavy loads up to 150 A LRA, meaning a single unit can support the power needs of most homes. Powerwall 3 is designed for mass production, fast and efficient installations, easy system expansion, and simple connection to any electrical service.
Backup Switch
The Tesla Backup Switch controls connection to the grid in a Powerwall system, and can be easily installed behind the utility meter or in a standalone meter panel downstream of the utility meter.
The Backup Switch automatically detects grid outages, providing a seamless transition to backup power. It communicates directly with Powerwall, allowing home energy usage monitoring from any mobile device with the Tesla app.
Backup Gateway 2
Backup Gateway 2 controls connection to the grid when paired with Powerwall 3, automatically detecting outages and providing seamless transition to backup power. Backup Gateway 2 also provides energy metering for solar self-consumption, time-based control, and backup operation.
In this system configuration, Powerwall 3 acts as the Site Controller, with the Backup Gateway 2 Site Controller disabled.
“We have used Light Renewables for the last two and a half years. They fitted our original panels and later came to install some additional ones. They have also installed batteries alongside the inverter.
The communication between ourselves and the company has been good. They have given us sound advice and have always responded to any queries or problems we have had. We would have no hesitation in recommending the company for their Solar energy work.”
