Home battery storage · Live Wire Electric
Plan a Tesla Powerwall installation around the life inside your home. Live Wire Electric helps you compare the battery, the backup loads and the electrical work, whether you already have solar or are starting a new home-energy project.

Local people. Real accountability.
Understand the system.
Powerwall 3 has 13.5 kWh of nominal battery energy. Tesla’s standard continuous battery-output configurations reach up to 11.5 kW. Energy capacity affects how long a load can run; output affects how much can run at once. We consider both instead of using one number as a whole-home promise.
Powerwall 3 Expansion adds 13.5 kWh of nominal storage per unit in a supported configuration. Extra stored energy does not automatically increase the base system’s inverter output. We compare expansion with additional full units against your actual backup goals.
Powerwall can store solar or grid energy. With an existing solar system, we review the inverter, connection and supported integration. Without solar, we start with the backup or energy-use goals and the applicable utility requirements.
Designed around your home.
Tell us about refrigeration, heating controls, internet, lights, pumps and other essentials. We review larger appliances separately so the backup plan has clear priorities.
We inspect the service arrangement and document existing panels, solar, storage or generators. The equipment generation and supported software configuration matter when systems are combined.
The quote identifies the battery arrangement, isolation or gateway equipment, electrical work and commissioning scope. Location, access, permits and utility coordination are part of the plan.
A few good questions.
Have a project-specific question?
Talk it through with the crew.
That depends on available battery energy, reserve settings, generation and the appliances running. We start with a useful backup-load list rather than advertise a fixed number of days for every home.
Often that is worth evaluating. We need the inverter and electrical-system details to establish a supported design and the work required.
No. It is stationary home energy storage. Tesla Wall Connector is the everyday EV charging product; vehicle-to-home arrangements are a separate type of system.
We review the installed generation, current compatibility requirements and your goals. Do not assume a new unit or expansion module is a drop-in replacement for every existing installation.
