With higher rates of electrification, increasing electricity tariffs and lower solar feed in rates, the benefits of solar and battery storage keep improving. However each property needs careful evaluation to ensure that a solar and/or battery system is sized correctly for the current conditions while also offering the potential for future proofing and upgrading.
We have been installing Tesla Powerwall batteries for more than six years with great results. Now Tesla have introduced their Powerall 3 unit which has a number of significant new features:
– integrated 11kW solar inverter (allowing up to 20kW of solar panels to be connected)
– three multi power point trackers to support multiple roof profiles eg. north, east and west
– backup power for the whole house with up to 10kW of continuous power supply
– energy expansion DC packs coming soon to provide simpler expansion of storage
– Time Based Control to maximise savings using peak and off peak tariffs
– one app to monitor solar, battery and Tesla EV
The cost of a fully integrated Tesla solar and battery system is $20K plus, but the upfront costs can be significantly offset by solar rebates and interest free loans from Solar Victoria (subject to eligibility).
If you would like us to evaluate your recent electricity consumption and costs, and ascertain the value of the Tesla Powerwall 3 for your property, please give us a call.
