These improvements make the Powerwall 3 more capable of powering an entire home, even with high-draw appliances like air conditioners running.

Key Benefits for Texas Homeowners

Backup Power During Outages

With extreme weather events becoming more common in Texas, having a reliable backup power source is crucial. The Powerwall 3 can keep your essential appliances and systems running during grid outages, providing peace of mind and comfort.

Energy Independence

By storing excess solar energy, the Powerwall 3 allows you to use more of the clean energy your panels produce. This reduces your reliance on the grid and can lead to significant savings on electricity bills.

Time-of-Use Rate Optimization

For homeowners on time-of-use electricity plans, the Powerwall 3 can automatically charge when rates are low and discharge when rates are high. This intelligent energy management can lead to even greater savings.

Increased Home Value

Adding a Powerwall 3 to your solar system can increase your home’s value and make it more attractive to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell.
