STEP 3: Wall-Mount Powerwall 3 Using Wall Bracket

Warning

Powerwall 3 must be mounted using the wall bracket at all times to secure the unit to the supporting structure.

Using a drill and level, mount the Powerwall bracket to a wall capable of supporting the full weight of Powerwall 3. See Powerwall 3 Wall Bracket Anchoring Details for Wall-mounting or Ground-mounting on Approved Foundation for additional details on the type and number of fasteners to use.
Figure 1. Bracket Measurements Relative to Powerwall and Floor
*If the Powerwall 3 On/Off switch must be less than 6 ft 7 in from the floor, mount the bracket such that:
- The distance from the center of the lower bracket segment to the floor is less than 56 in (1429 mm)
- The distance from the center of the upper bracket segment to the floor is less than 75 in (1905 mm)
Warning
Only install fasteners in the (4) slots on the horizontal bracket segments, and ensure they are installed on the outside edges of each slot. Do not install fasteners on the vertical (center) segment, as these are not structural mounting holes.

Note
The following diagram provides measurements for positioning rear conduit entry holes relative to the Powerwall 3 bracket (the measurements are the same for both knockouts).
Move the dolly toward the wall, positioning Powerwall so that the mounting cleats are just above the flanges on the bracket.
Lower Powerwall until both the upper and lower sets of cleats engage the flanges on the bracket.

CAUTION
Confirm Powerwall 3 is fully seated on all four cleats before proceeding.
If ground-mounting Powerwall, use an 11/16-inch (or 17 mm) wrench to adjust the leveling feet until Powerwall is level. The unit should be level within ± 2 degrees side-to-side and within ± 5 degrees front-to-back.

Note
The top of each foot must be visible above the threaded boss; do not unscrew the foot so far that the top is no longer visible.
