The groundbreaking Powerwall introduced
innovative battery storage solutions to households worldwide. At Steve Duckworth
Electrical, we were among 50 pioneering licensed installers hand selected by Tesla
themselves to introduce the Powerwall system to the UK, and are now 1 of 27 premium
certified installers selected to deploy the Powerwall 3.
Thousands of customers
across the North West have entrusted their energy needs to Tesla Powerwall battery
storage systems. These systems enable the storage of surplus solar energy, facilitate
electric vehicle charging, and provide backup protection during grid outages.
Additionally, Powerwall enables access to the latest and/or cheapest energy tariffs,
empowering customers to engage in electricity trading with the grid.
Tesla Powerwall 3: What you need to know.
Powerwall 3 is a fully integrated
solar and battery system designed to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable
energy. Powerwall 3 can store solar or grid energy for later use when the sun goes down
or when the electricity prices are high; lowering their electricity bills, reducing
their reliance on the grid, and power their homes during a grid outage. Once installed,
customers can manage their home energy system using the Tesla App and customize system
behavior to meet their energy goals.
Powerwall 3 achieves this by supporting up
to 20 kW DC of solar and providing 11.04 kW AC of continuous power per unit. It has the
ability to store up to 13.5 kWh of energy and start heavy loads rated up to 185 A LRA,
meaning a single Powerwall 3 can support the power needs of most homes. Powerwall 3 is
designed for fast and efficient installations, modular system expansion, and simple
connection to any electrical service.

A Tesla Powerwall 3 is an energy storage solution designed to store excess
energy created by solar panel systems or to store low-rate electricity for
use during peak hours. It can also supply power to your property during a
grid outage. By installing a Powerwall, you can save money on bills and
increase self-sustainability when there are issues with the national
grid.
The price of a Powerwall 3 varies depending on your specific needs. Many companies advertise prices that do not reflect the final cost due to additional factors and add-ons. We offer competitive pricing with high-quality, certified installations. Contact us for a personalised quote.
The Powerwall 3 was officially released on 19th June 2024, at which point
Tesla selected 26 premium certified installers to be the first in the UK to
install the Powerwall 3. We installed our first unit on 30th August 2024,
and continue to roll out installations nationwide.
The Tesla Powerwall 3 is designed to supply enough energy to power some or most of your household electrical items. Note that depending on limitations from the DNO (Distribution Network Operator), there may be restrictions on how much energy you can export to the grid. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
The Tesla Powerwall 3 stores energy from solar panels or the grid, allowing you to charge it during low-price periods and use that cheaper electricity when prices are high. It provides backup power during outages and reduces reliance on the grid, helping to lower electricity costs in the UK.
Tesla Powerwalls are rigorously tested and comply with American, European, and UK electrical standards, ensuring they are safe for consumers globally.
Tesla Powerwall 3 installations come with a 5-year workmanship warranty from Steve Duckworth Electrical Ltd, and a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty from Tesla. Its longevity depends on usage patterns, environmental conditions, and maintenance.

Yes, the Tesla Powerwall 3 can be installed outside. According to Tesla’s
specifications, it is designed for outdoor installation and is
weather-resistant to ensure reliable operation in various conditions.
The Tesla Powerwall 3 cannot currently be stacked.
Unfortunately, Tesla has not made the Powerwall 3 compatible with the
Powerwall 2.
In the event of a power cut, the Powerwall 3 switches to backup mode, allowing you to run your home off the battery system. The duration of backup power depends on the batteries charge and your electricity consumption.
No, a solar panel system is not required to install a Tesla Powerwall 3. While the Powerwall 3 has a built-in inverter, you can use the battery to store cheap-rate electricity and install solar panels later, using the existing inverter in the Powerwall 3.
The Tesla Powerwall 3 can connect to existing solar systems. You can bypass the Powerwall 3’s inverter and connect your solar system to the Gateway 2 controller to store energy. Alternatively, for greater efficiency, your existing inverter can be removed, allowing solar panels to connect directly to the Powerwall 3’s inverter, avoiding unnecessary energy conversions.
A Powerwall 3 can be installed anywhere a Powerwall 2 can be, including
outside, in garages, or indoors. Due to its weight (130 kg), it is typically
unsuitable for most loft spaces.
The Powerwall 3 features a built-in solar panel inverter, allowing direct DC
input from your roof to the battery without the need for AC conversion. It
also supports a discharge rate of up to 11 kWh, subject to the DNO
application.
The number of Powerwalls needed depends on factors such as energy production from solar panels, energy usage, grid export, peak-time consumption, and backup requirements. Contact us for a free personalised quote based on your specific needs.
Yes, you can use the Powerwall 3 to charge your car or run your air conditioning. The limiting factors are the battery’s storage capacity and discharge rate. If the DNO limits your discharge rate, you may only be able to run smaller items, but having more than one battery allows for longer use of these appliances.
Generators can be used to charge a Tesla Powerwall in homes with emergency and security systems. Since these setups are not common, we would need to design a system tailored to your specific safety and security needs. Contact us for advice and a free quote.
