Tesla Powerwall 3 Testimonial

“I just completed installation of a PV system with REC 430 watt Alpha Pure panels and Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries for back up through Independent Energy and they did a fantastic job from beginning to end. Our first contact was with James Escobido who listened to our ideas and objectives… Our goal was to have the system installed before the end of 2024 and Sean, the Project Manager, made it happen. Everything looks and performs great guys!! But how does the system perform? I’ve been monitoring the system using the Tesla and Netzero apps and let me tell you, I couldn’t be happier. If the grid went down for an extended period of time….days or weeks, even months, we should have no problem running everything in the house like normal. Thank you Independent Energy. I highly recommend your company.”

Tesla Powerwall 3 FAQ

Can the Tesla Powerwall 3 power my entire home, or just essential appliances?

The Tesla Powerwall 3 is designed to provide whole-home backup power, depending on your energy needs and the size of your system. With its high continuous power output of 11.5 kW, it can support most household appliances, including air conditioning and other high-demand devices. Our team can assess your energy usage and customize a solution to ensure your Powerwall meets your home’s needs.

Can the Tesla Powerwall 3 save me money on my energy bills?

Yes! The Powerwall 3 optimizes your solar energy usage by storing excess energy during the day and discharging it when demand is high or during peak-rate times. This intelligent load shifting helps you reduce your reliance on the grid and take advantage of time-of-use rates, lowering your electricity costs.

Is the Tesla Powerwall 3 compatible with my existing solar system?

The Tesla Powerwall 3 integrates smoothly with most existing solar systems and is an excellent addition for homeowners looking to upgrade to energy storage. As a Tesla Certified Installer, we ensure seamless compatibility and expert installation tailored to your energy needs.

How long will the Tesla Powerwall 3 power my home during an outage?

The duration depends on your home’s energy usage and the number of Powerwalls installed. A single Powerwall 3 with 13.5 kWh of storage can power essential appliances for several hours or an average home for an evening. For extended outages, pairing the Powerwall with solar panels allows continuous recharging during daylight hours.

How many Tesla Powerwalls do I need to maximize savings?

The number of Powerwalls required depends on your energy consumption and solar system size. Many homeowners find that one or two Powerwalls are sufficient to store excess solar energy and provide significant savings by reducing reliance on the grid during peak hours. Our solar consultants can assess your needs and recommend the ideal setup.

Where can the Tesla Powerwall 3 be installed, and what are the space requirements?

The Tesla Powerwall 3 can be installed indoors or outdoors, offering flexible placement options to suit your home’s layout. Its weather-resistant design ensures durability in harsh conditions, including high humidity, rain, and extreme temperatures, making it an excellent choice for Hawaii’s climate. Installation requires wall or floor mounting with a minimum clearance around the unit for proper ventilation and maintenance. With dimensions of approximately 44 inches tall, 30 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, the Powerwall 3 is sleek and space-efficient. Our expert team ensures every installation meets safety, performance, and aesthetic standards.

Status: The program is capped at 50 megawatts (MW), as of right now we are at 6.2 MW.

  • Currently customers who are accepted into the program will receive $850 per kilowatt (kW).
  • After the first 15 MW is filled, the next 15 MW of committed capacity will receive $750 per kW.
  • After the next 15 MW is used the last 20 MW of committed capacity will receive $500 per kW.

Customers that are not currently enrolled in the company’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) Program will receive a fixed monthly bill credit for energy exported to the grid for three years. The credit is an amount equivalent to the respective retail rate for electricity exported during the two-hour period. After these three years are completed any underlying interconnection tariff export rates, if any, will apply.

Customers who wish to participate with an existing solar system and are presently enrolled in a customer energy program (such as Net Energy Metering, and Grid Supply or others) will continue to receive full benefits from these programs. Up to 5 kW of new panels may be added under existing programs. There is no limit on the size of an individual customer’s battery.

If you would like to add more than 5 kW of additional capacity of PV, it is possible as long as you still adhere to a 2:1 PV to battery output ratio. These apply to any interconnection tariff customers!

“We wholeheartedly recommend Independent Energy Hawaii for all your solar photovoltaic system needs. From our initial conversations with Desta to the final inspection with James, every interaction was extraordinarily positive. The team’s knowledge, honesty, and professionalism was exceptional. The whole process was done efficiently and reliably and we couldn’t be more appreciative. Every member of the team was professional, competent, and respectful in their dealings with us.”

“Easily the most professional crew I ever had the pleasure of doing business with, and I never felt alone or in the dark thanks to Desta. He helped me with all my questions and I loved the fact that he was just a phone call away. Dedication to something like that is just hard to find nowadays. This company was a breath of fresh air for me and I wish I could do such an awesome crew justice with such a simple review. 10/10″

“Desta, Adam, Mike, Garrison and the rest of the Independent Energy Team are amazing. They were knowledgeable, responsive and helpful throughout our whole solar process. When issues came up (as they always do with projects), they went the extra mile to make sure everything worked properly.
Our panels and battery were installed on time as promised and are working great – just got our first ever $26 HECO bill!
This company cares about helping people and doing quality work, which is very rare these days. Hands down the best experience I’ve had with a company for home improvement/renovations. Highly recommend!”
