Tesla Powerwall 3 Expansion Pack: Everything You Need To Know

If you’re planning a solar upgrade and want to future-proof your home, the Tesla Powerwall 3 Expansion Pack is one of the smartest investments you can make.  It adds modular, affordable storage to your existing Tesla Powerwall 3 system, giving you more energy independence, more flexibility, and the best cost-per-kWh storage on the market.

Delivered by Naked Solar’s in house Tesla Premium Certified installation team, the Expansion Pack is designed to make growing your system simple.  Here’s everything you need to know.

 

What is the Tesla Powerwall 3 Expansion Pack? 

The Expansion Pack is a DC-coupled add-on battery that boosts your Tesla Powerwall 3’s storage by 13.5 kWh. Unlike a full Tesla Powerwall 3 system, it doesn’t need its own inverter – instead, it connects directly to your Tesla Powerwall 3 to increase capacity at a lower price.

You can add up to three Expansion Packs per Tesla Powerwall 3 to give you a whopping 54kWh of storage and no need for a Grid Connection application.  Larger systems can be created by linking multiple Powerwall units together.

Why the Expansion Pack Makes Sense
