Tesla Powerwall 3 battery

At Solarbank, we’re thrilled to showcase the latest in home energy storage: the Tesla Powerwall 3. This cutting-edge battery is redefining how Sydney homeowners harness solar power, and we recently had the privilege of installing it in a stunning project in St Ives. Here’s why the Powerwall 3 stands out—and how it outshines its predecessor, the Powerwall 2.

‍

Why the Powerwall 3 Outshines the Rest

The Tesla Powerwall 3 delivers a powerful upgrade with its 13.5 kWh storage capacity and 10 kW continuous power output, doubling the 5 kW of the Powerwall 2—perfect for running high-energy appliances like air conditioners or EV chargers. It stores excess solar energy for use day or night, during peak hours or blackouts, and includes a built-in solar inverter with 97.5% efficiency (solar-to-home/grid), unlike the Powerwall 2, which relies on a separate inverter, adding cost and complexity. Supporting up to 20 kW of solar input across three high-powered connections, the Powerwall 3 outpaces the Powerwall 2’s external inverter needs, simplifying setups while offering flood resistance up to 0.6 meters and a sleek, compact design that’s as tough as it is stylish.

Powering St Ives with Dual Powerwall 3s

We recently completed an installation in St Ives, Sydney, that perfectly showcases the Powerwall 3’s capabilities. This home now boasts two Tesla Powerwall 3 units, paired with a 19.11 kW solar array made up of 42 AIKO Neostar 2S All Black panels. The result? A seamless, high-performance system that maximizes energy independence. The dual Powerwall 3s provide 27 kWh of storage—enough to power the entire household through outages or overnight—while the sleek, all-black AIKO panels blend beautifully with the home’s aesthetic. Check out the photos below to see the batteries and panels in action!
