| 5 | MPPT Positive PV inputs (PV 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+, 5+, 6+) | Red | 10 - 6 AWG (6 - 16 mm2) | 5/8-inch (16 mm) | N/A |
| 6 | MPPT Negative PV inputs (PV 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-) | Black | 10 - 6 AWG (6 - 16 mm2) | ||
| 7 | MPPT Parallel Jumper Slots | Use provided jumpers (Tesla P/N: 1784893-xx-y)* | |||
*Do not make jumpers. Use only the jumpers included in the Powerwall 3 accessory bag.
Note
The leftmost terminal in the AC connector
is not used.
Note
AC power output terminals are rated to a
minimum of 90°C.
Note
Use only copper conductors in the PV connector and GND terminals.
Note
PV input
terminals (MPPT DC inputs) are rated to a minimum of 75°C.
Note
Powerwall 3 units with P/N 1707000-11-L and higher or
1707000-21-L and higher have a unique PV connector in which the positive (5) and negative (6)
conductors for each string are connected side-by-side. As depicted below, all other Powerwall 3 units have a PV connector in which the
positive (5) conductors are connected on the left, and the negative conductors (6) are
connected on the right.
