Choose a Wall Capable of Supporting Powerwall 3
Choose a wall capable of supporting the full weight of Powerwall 3. Walls with the following characteristics are acceptable:
- Wood or metal studs at regular intervals
- Solid concrete, CMU, or select brick masonry
Other wall types are also acceptable depending on mounting configuration; see Powerwall 3 Wall Bracket Anchoring Details for Wall-mounting or Ground-mounting on Approved Foundation for all acceptable wall types when mounting Powerwall 3 on the mounting bracket.
If ground-mounting Powerwall, choose a level surface adjacent to a wall space that meets the above requirements. Ensure the bearing surface is structurally sound and flat, and supports both Powerwall feet.
