LEADING TESLA POWERWALL INSTALLER COVERING THE SOUTH WEST
POWER – FLEXIBILITY – CAPACITY
Tesla Powerwall 3 brings groundbreaking new features to battery storage market.
Tesla Powerwall “Premium Certified Installer” Naked Solar are on hand to help you highlight it’s key specifications, benefits and considerations.
My only regret is with myself - for not getting them to do the initial PV installation in the first place! In future, if I need ANY related work to be done, Naked Solar will be my first choice.
Eventually I landed on a package that I felt was right for me and my home, at which point the wheels were set in motion. The scaffolding went up, the scaffolders were punctual and efficient, then a few days later the installation took place. It took just less than 2 days for 10 panels and a battery to be fitted. It was working immediately and the guys showed me how to use the app to monitor and control the settings. I'm immensely pleased with the products and the standard of installation.
If I have any constructive feedback it would simply be that there was some confusion over whether a trench would be needed between the house and the garage. From what the Naked Solar electrician said to me when he arrived, it would always have been needed - so a brief call between the head office and the electrician would most likely have solidified that sooner in the process for me. As I needed to dig the trench, it would have been ideal to know a bit sooner that it would definitely be needed.
I am a big fan of this firm and would recommend them to anyone in the South West looking into Solar technologies.
Everything was completed to a very high standard and the work ethic of everyone involved was second to none.
Particular thanks must go to Jake who discussed the initial options with me and was very patient while I got my head around the multiple choices available to me.
On the day of installation Carlos and Gary arrived on time and completed the roof installation in an efficient and considerate manner. The two electricians, Gary and Tom were both exceptional ensuring that all their work met my expectations and that everything was as I wished.
Without exception they were all very polite and friendly and cleared everything up after themselves.
I have no hesitation in recommending Naked Solar as a Company as their attention to detail and the care of their employees is second to none.
Thank you all for your help and I look forward to having you work on my house again when I expand the system.
Kind regards,
Nigel Flitton
Many thanks.
The whole team was extremely friendly and polite but most importantly they were competent and communicated all niggles and problems they encountered on site immediately and directly with a suggested solution for our approval. In my opinion clear communication is key to the success of any project and the lads did themselves proud in this regard. It was a true pleasure to work with the team and to have them on site.
I would highly recommend Naked Solar without any reservations.
Thank you all very much for excellent work!

The Powerwall 3’s compact and functional design includes a narrower unit than Powerwall 2, allowing easy and convenient installation without intruding into your room space too much.
The Powerwall 3 has also been given a fresh look whilst still nailing the clean, futuristic brief that’s become synonymous with Tesla.
Built-In Solar Inverter
Perhaps the most groundbreaking addition to the Powerwall 3 is the integrated Solar Inverter (hybrid inverter) with 3 separate Solar inputs (MPPT’s).
Now that Solar and Battery share the same inverter more options are opened up with valuable benefits to Powerwall 3 owners:-
- Just add panels – Choosing your Solar PV system has never been simpler. Just select your preferred Solar Panels to add to your Powerwall 3 and you’re ready to join the Solar revolution!
- Neater look – Housing the Solar inverter in the battery delivers on a much neater set up and minimises installation labour, an added bonus for homeowners.
- Efficiency gains – Powerwall 3’s DC-Coupled system means more useable energy for your home, Tesla’s research shows over 97% efficiency even with small Solar PV arrays.
- Reduced price – Uniting Powerwall 3’s Solar & Battery inverter can shave between £400 – £1000 off of your Solar PV system’s total price.
Complex roof? No problem!
The 3 Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) in Powerwall 3 support installations on up to 3 different pitches and orientations. Especially important for tackling those tricky roofs with multiple aspects and shading considerations.
Installation Flexibility
With more exciting ways to utlise your Solar than ever before, the Powerwall 3’s DC-Coupled architecture (that means you can plug Solar Panels right in to it as Powerwall 3 doesn’t need a seperate Solar PV inverter) is designed to deliver an impressive 30 extra days of lifetime Solar generation by increasing efficiency to 97%.
Maximise your Solar Opportunity
Powerwall 3’s 11kW inverter can handle up to 20kWp of Solar Power, almost double the inverter size.
Having the largest Solar PV array possible connected to your Powerwall 3 gives you the best opportunity to harvest the most energy, maximising your independence from the grid and offering the highest returns on Solar Grid Trading tariffs, making your home a real power house.
Can I add a Powerwall 3 to my existing Solar PV system?
Yes! The Powerwall 3 is suitable for retrofitting to an existing Solar PV system and you can also add to your Solar array by connecting more panels in to your Powerwall 3. All this can be added without affecting any Feed In Tariff payments you may receive.
Worried about Powercuts?
An ever-popular feature of the Tesla Powerwall – Home Backup, is available with the Tesla Powerwall 3, allowing you to use your stored energy to power your home during an outage.
Powerwall technology is already responsible for preventing a whopping 33 million power losses globally by seamless transitions to backup.
Storm Watch
Among the impressive array of features offered to Powerwall 3 owners is ‘Storm Watch’, intelligent weather monitoring feature that anticipates severe weather conditions and charges to maximum capacity.
Another huge tick in the box of independence from the grid, ensuring your ready to go in alone in the case of possible outages caused by adverse weather.

South West Homeowners: We’re Installing In Your Area!
Our award-winning team are on hand to support you through every step of your Solar journey.
Naked Solar has been awarded the coveted ‘Premium Certified Installer‘ status from Tesla, and we’d be delighted to help you unlock the benefits of amazing Powerwall technology.
Yes! In the same way that Powerwall 2 works independently of your existing Solar PV system by simply monitoring when there is electric being exported to the grid, Powerwall can do the same. It will see electric being exported to the grid and charge at the same rate. When you have demand from the grid, Powerwall 3 will respond by discharging to meet your demand.
What’s better about Powerwall 3 is it will cover much higher loads up to 11kW (with Grid permission… don’t worry we do the paperwork) which is plenty for 99% of households and many small businesses.
And don’t worry if you have Feed In Tariff, it’s unaffected and Naked Solar can help navigate the process for you.
Unfortunatley not. To expand your existing Powerwall 2 installation you can add another Powerwall 2. You’ll need permission from your DNO who look after your local electric supply network. Naked Solar can take care of this application for you and Powerwall 2 is still available.
Rumour control is saying that Powerwall 3 may be able to work with existing Powerwall 2 installations in the future, however this has not been confirmed by Tesla.
The good news is both! Powerwall 3 is safe in the rain thanks to it’s IP67 rating. The innovative cell level heating system keeps the battery warm, allowing operation from -20°C up to 50°C.
Beware of outdoor installations: Studies show the most efficient temperature for Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries is highest at room temperature. For outdoor installations, bear in mind you might loose a handful of units (kWh) each year to keep the battery warm enough to perform well when the outside temperature drops below freezing.
Under the PAS 63100, Battery Energy Storage Systems should not be installed under stairs or in an area that would be considered an escape route in the event of a fire. This is because of the concern that a battery could catch fire during a house fire.
Yes, Powerwall 3 can be installed on a stud wall, our engineers will decide on the most appropriate fixings to use depending on the structure of your stud wall.
The Powerwall 3 is 1096mm high by 609mm wide and 193mm deep. It weighs in at 130kg which is why Tesla designed a ‘Dolly’ to enable safe movement of the unit.
Your first port of call is Naked Solar, our technical team have years of experience in diagnosing a wide variety of faults with Solar PV & Battery Storage systems. Tesla also have a technical team should the fault need deeper diagnosis. Naked Solar have experience of working with the Tesla Powerwall team so will be able to help, even if Naked Solar didn’t carry out your installation.
The big news is the power output increasing from 5kW to 11kW, meaning Powerwall 3 can power devices like EV chargers, Electric Showers and Heat Pumps. The addition of a Solar Inverter also reduces installation costs when compared to Powerwall 2 while also reducing the conversion losses in the system. For a full review of the differences, take a look at our Powerwall 2 v Powerwall 3 blog post.
That depends on a lot of factors, whilst 1 x Powerwall 3 will store enough electric to run the average house for more than a day, many customers want more storage to help reduce their reliance on the grid or to maximise their Solar Grid Trading. The beauty of Powerwall 3 is that you can add more storage at a later date if you want to dip your toe in to start with. Our expert team of consultants will be able to talk through your specific situation and help you make a fully informed choice.
Powerwall 3 requires an internet connection in order to commission the system. Tesla recommend installers set up both hard wired and wireless connections where possible to give the best chance of a good connection for monitoring, controlling and free software updates.
If Powerwall is not connected to the internet, it will continue to operate in the last operating mode set and provide backup power during an outage, but it will not provide remote monitoring via the Tesla app. Extended periods without an active internet connection will prevent software updates and may impact the product warranty.
The Powerwall 3 is only available with the Glossy Glass White finish. Tesla have given no indication that they intend to offer different coloured options. We know some people like to bling their things so we’re sure that some owners will add a laminate wrap and we’re looking forward to seeing the results of Powerwall 3 owners creativity.
Yes, Powerwall 3 can be installed so that you can benefit from Solar Grid Trading, so you can dip your toe and add solar later if you wish. This is also a good option for those who live in flats.
At times of heavy use, the Powerwall 3’s fans will operate to keep the cells in tip top condition. These fans will generate a similar noise to a large PC fan.
