The amount of value that is packed into the @tesla Powerwall 3 is mind blowing. Powerwall 3 stores the same amount of energy as Powerwall 2, but the Powerwall 3 can discharge 230% (continuously) faster than the 2. This means that a single Powerwall 3 has enough power to handle all the loads in about 80% of households. Energy expansions will be coming out later this year, I’m guessing they will be much less expensive than the Powerwall 3. It’s hard to put a value on this, but this improvement could save you from needing to set up 2 separate panels (one for backup loads and another for non backup loads). My estimated value for this is $2000. But even with that extra work, you still don’t have as good of an overall system because you had to choose some loads to be in a non-backup panel… The increase in power discharge will also decrease the quantity of powerwalls that a person would need to purchase/install in some situations. The value for this is roughly $10,000. A single Powerwall 3 can also be paired with up to a 20kw solar array because of the built in solar inverter. This is equivalent to about $2,000 worth of Tesla inverters or about $11,000 worth of micro inverters that you wouldn’t need to purchase for a 20kw solar system. Those numbers are not including labor savings, equipment only. Powerwall 3 has a built in site controller. This means that you can install it with the Tesla backup switch instead of the Tesla Gateway. The Tesla Gateway is a wonderful piece of equipment that may be a better option in certain situations due to its versatility, but the Backup Switch is more than $500 less expensive than the Gateway (and a lot less labor) and works great most situations, if your utility will allow it. I estimate this value to be about $2000. It will be interesting to see what the energy expansion module pricing is later this year. I believe they will also be 13.5kWh, each. But I don’t think they will have their own solar inverters or site controllers so they should be much less expensive to manufacture and likely much less expensive for us to purchase? If so, this really starts to add a ton of value. Powerwall 3 also runs cooler due to its new thermal management system and also because of the change in battery technology to LFP. Needless to say, I’m excited about this and can’t wait to get my hands on this product. My customers are going to benefit immensely from this engineering marvel. Thank you @tesla, @teslaenergy, @elonmusk and especially everyone that worked on engineering and producing this new product. @WholeMarsBlog @SawyerMerritt

@mattforsberg280 @Tesla Matthew, I was recently talked out of the PowerWall 3 and this being the setup. Any idea why they would steer me away from the 3’s?? I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
@mattforsberg280 @Tesla So most people wouldn’t order multiple powerwall 3s, they would do 1 and then add expansion packs?
@mattforsberg280 @Tesla So you would skip micro inverters? They are heavily pushed if you are looking for a solar install.
@mattforsberg280 @Tesla What kills this product for a lot of people is that it’s only usable with Tesla inverter and most people who require to use microinverters due to roof shape can’t purchase this product.
@mattforsberg280 @Tesla How many kwh is in a powerwall 3? It doesn't show on the Tesla site?
