Powerwall 3 Installation
Quick answer
Tesla Powerwall 3 installed by certified electricians, 13.5kWh storage, 11.5kW output, built-in solar inverter. Typically $11,000–$18,000 before state and utility incentives.Typical installed cost: $11,000–$18,000
The Powerwall 3 is Tesla's current flagship: double the power output of the Powerwall 2 and a solar inverter built in, so panels connect directly to the battery. As Tesla-certified installers, we handle system design, the Backup Gateway, permits, utility interconnection, and app commissioning.
About Powerwall 3 Installation
The Powerwall 3 collapsed what used to be three boxes into one: battery, inverter, and solar input in a single wall-mounted unit delivering 11.5kW continuously, enough to start central air conditioning from battery, something its predecessor needed two units to promise.
Our certified installs run the full arc: consumption analysis and system design, Backup Gateway placement, panel integration (with SPAN as an option for circuit-level control), permitting and utility interconnection, and app commissioning with storm watch and time-based controls configured for your rate plan.
What 11.5kW of output means in practice
- Central A/C starts and runs on battery, the old dealbreaker, solved
- Well pumps and sump pumps with their surge draws: handled
- EV charging during an outage (throttled intelligently)
- Whole-home backup from fewer units than PW2 required

Frequently asked questions
Same 13.5kWh storage, but nearly double the continuous output (11.5kW vs 5.8kW) and an integrated solar inverter, one unit can start A/C and run large loads that previously needed two batteries.
No, it works standalone for backup and time-of-use savings, charging from the grid. Its built-in inverter simply makes adding solar later cleaner and cheaper.
Most single-unit installs complete in one day on site, after design and permitting. Utility interconnection approval adds calendar time, which we manage.
Garage or exterior wall, indoors or out (it's weather-rated). We site it for wire-run efficiency, temperature moderation, and code clearances, usually beside the panel and gateway.
