Solar PV & Tesla Powerwall 3 Installation, Penryn

A recent installation in Penryn, Cornwall, paired solar panels with a Tesla Powerwall 3 to create a smart energy solution. The solar panels generate electricity from the sun during the day, and the Powerwall 3 stores any excess energy for night time use or during periods of low sunlight. This setup allows the homeowners to maximise solar energy usage and reduce their dependence on grid electricity.

System Size – 5.34kWp

This system includes:
12 x Aiko Gen 2 Black 445w
Tesla Powerwall 3 – 13kWh
Tesla Backup Gateway

A key feature of the Tesla Powerwall 3 is its built-in inverter. This allows it to convert the DC (direct current) electricity generated by the solar panels into AC (alternating current), which can be used directly by the home. This built-in inverter eliminates the need for a separate solar inverter, simplifying the installation and reducing costs.

The Powerwall 3 seamlessly manages both energy storage and conversion, resulting in a more compact and efficient system. Moreover, with 13.5 kWh of storage, it powers the home at night, reducing grid reliance and lowering energy bills. Additionally, it provides backup power during outages, ensuring energy security.

The Tesla app allows the homeowners to track energy production, storage, and consumption in real time, giving them full control over their energy usage.

This installation shows how solar panels and the Tesla Powerwall 3, with its built-in inverter and storage, offer an efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly energy solution for homes.
