Optional: Configure Powerwall 3 Maximum Power / Current Output
The default maximum power / current output for Powerwall 3 is 11.5 kW / 48 A. Beginning with software version 24.20, the power / current output can be configured to one of the following limits during device setup, except where it is limited by the local grid code requirements:
Power / Current Output (AC) | Breaker (Overcurrent Protection) |
---|---|
11.5 kW / 48A (default) | 60 A |
10 kW / 41.67 A | 60 A |
7.68 kW / 32 A | 40 A |
5.8 kW / 24 A | 30 A |
This feature can be used for the following purposes:
- Compliance with utility-imposed requirements on maximum inverter power (for instance transformer capacity limits or interconnection requirements)
- Qualification for subsidies or economic benefits (for instance NEM integrity or SGIP)
- Replacing a Powerwall 2, Powerwall+, or third party solar inverter with a Powerwall 3
Configuring a Power / Current Output
Note
When installing Powerwall 3, select the appropriate Powerwall 3 breaker size depending on the
desired power output (see the table above).
- If the system is running, select Stop System.
- Select .
- Select the desired maximum current / power output from the dropdown menu.
- Select NoteOnce the setting has been confirmed, it cannot be changed by the installer. Contact Tesla Support if the setting must be changed.
.
- Document the configured maximum current output on the Powerwall 3 product label (use a paint pen to mark the configured value).
Enabling 15.4 kW Off-grid Power Output
Powerwall 3 can be configured to provide 15.4 kW of power when the system is off-grid
and is producing sufficient solar. The following are required to enable this feature:
- Powerwall 3 has been installed with an 80 A breaker and appropriately sized conductors
- Powerwall 3 has been configured with a max current output of 11.5 kW (on-grid)
- Powerwall 3 is on software version 24.36 or later
To enable 15.4 kW off-grid power output:
- If the system is running, select Stop System.
- Select .
- Toggle ON Enable 64A (15.4 kW) Off-Grid.NoteThis toggle will only be available when Max Current Output is set to 48A (11.5 kW) - Default.NoteOnce the setting has been confirmed, it cannot be changed by the installer. Contact Tesla Support if the setting must be changed.
- Document the configured maximum current output and 15.4 kW off-grid power output on the Powerwall 3 product label (use a paint pen to mark the configured value).
