Powerwall 3 is a fully integrated solar and
battery system. The home's PV array is connected directly to Powerwall 3, which converts solar energy and
stores it for future use.
Powerwall 3 is installed with Backup Gateway
2 to control the system's connection
to the grid and monitor home energy consumption.

Powerwall 3 is an
integrated solar and battery system that converts energy from
solar panels to be used by
the home, and stores excess energy for future use. Every system
contains at least one Powerwall 3, with
additional Powerwall 3 units
and/or Expansion
units installed depending on the home’s solar
system size and/or energy consumption.

Powerwall 3Expansion is a battery
that provides additional storage for a Powerwall 3 system. Because
the Expansion does not
include an inverter, it cannot be installed without Powerwall 3. Solar cannot
be connected to an Expansion unit.
