So glad I found your tutorial, it was concise, the production was easy to watch and the technical content was superb. Getting ready to add two PW3s to my existing Enphase PV system (31 panels producing 12.5 kWh). This is a marriage made in solar heaven. I was able to size our PV system to cover 125% of our annual consumption and that included our Tesla. We oversized to account for low production in winter, system degradation, and adding ESS. In addition to our 30% federal tax credit, my utility pays a CASH REBATE of $300 US for every kW of battery storage. So this made the decision even easier. Can't wait to become an "ISLAND", we will sleep better. Cheers from the US.
I've just ordered pw3 and solar, being fitted in September. Am on intelligent octopus go, so thinking will charge battery through night at 7p then sell surplus of this plus solar generation back at 15p through day which is what octopus pay to export. Aim to get battery down to 10% by midnight, then go again. Have you looked into this option? Any thoughts?
This is a good tactic but Powerwall 3 will take over for you, it's all automatic. You need to issue your buy and sell prices and it will do the rest for you based upon its machine learning algorithms. It will ensure you are getting the most out of the system. It's quite clever like that!
Hey mate great video thanks for sharing. i still have a question. Is there any chance to set up a charging limit. I learnt its better for.the battery in terms of lifespan if it is not fully charged all the time. ☀️☀️
Whilst this can be a common point with batteries, Powerwall will ensure it takes care of its own health and lifespan day to day. The aggregate throughput of the Powerwall is limited as per the warranty however it is unlikely you will go through this during the 10 year life span. I hope this helps!
I was just listening to the Batteries included podcast and they had a battery scientist on. He said no matter what the chemistry is that you want to charge slowly and only be at a low or high charge state for short periods of time.
This is the best video ive seen on the app. my problem is although it estimates in pence so it must know im in the UK when i try to add my none Tesla car for using their super chargers when i fill in my details it asks for my state and zip code , i have set it to the UK but it still thinks im in the US , How can i set it up for UK ? many thanks .
Thank you very much. We are so glad it is helpful. Regarding your question, I'm afraid you may have to contact Tesla directly for this. If it's showing as the incorrect currency it may be something to do with your account setup. Sorry I can't be of more help.

This is great news! It is great hearing amazing Powerwall stories from around the world! Enjoy your green energy!
Thanks, good video, I forwarded it to my son in Sacramento California who is considering the Powerwall 3.
We hope it is of help to him!

I am another viewer. I do not think that is necessary with the Powerwall 3 chemistry.
