Benefits of the Tesla Powerwall 3

The Tesla Powerwall 3 is a battery that incorporates the inverter so there is no longer a need to install 2 pieces of equipment. The Powerwall 3 can be added to an existing install or stand alone.

The Powerwall 3 has the capability to discharge at 11kWh and charge at 5kWh simultaneously.  This is far higher than any other battery available on the market. The benefit of this means more appliances can be powered at the same time.

Similar to the Tesla car, the battery preheats itself to the optimum temperature for efficient charging.

The Powerwall 3 has 100% depth of discharge, this means the usable capacity is as advertised 13.5kWh. The battery is actually larger than 13.5kWh and uses a buffer which allows for this level of charge and discharge. Many other batteries on the market are labelled 5/10/15 kWh but have only 80% depth of discharge.

The 3 x MPPT means that the Powerwall can operate 3 different roof orientations and cope with shaded areas better than other options on the market.

Octopus Energy have now collaborated with Tesla to offer exclusive tariffs that benefit from monitoring grid pricing , they can charge and discharge according to the most beneficial tariff during the day or night. Offering further savings.
