In a game-changing move, SunPower, one of America's leading solar energy companies, has officially integrated Tesla’s Powerwall 3 home battery system into its product offerings. Launched last year, Elon Musk's brainchild, the Powerwall 3, has been touted for its ease of installation and exceptional power output. According to Tesla, each unit boasts an impressive energy capacity of 13.5 kWh, ready to provide a robust solution for home energy needs.
Powerwall 3: More Power, Less Hassle
The Powerwall 3 differentiates itself from previous iterations by delivering 11.5 kW of continuous power. This means a single battery unit can keep your home running smoothly, even during outages. The improvement underscores Tesla's commitment to enhancing both performance and convenience for consumers. With such a high power output, homeowners can enjoy an uninterrupted power supply, ensuring peace of mind even during unexpected grid failures.
Why SunPower Chose Powerwall 3
Shawn Fitzgerald, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Product Strategy at SunPower, emphasized the current trend of homeowners seeking battery storage solutions. The demand for these technologies has never been higher, driven by concerns over rising utility rates and frequent grid outages. With this in mind, adding the Powerwall 3 to their range was a strategic move.
He stated, "Homeowners are increasingly turning to battery storage to protect themselves against ongoing utility rate hikes and grid outages. We witnessed record-breaking battery storage sales in 2024 and see a future where almost all solar systems are paired with storage. Pairing Tesla Powerwall 3 with our industry-leading SunPower Equinox solar system was a natural progression in offering homeowners the best products on the market."
