Tesla Powerwall 3 Expansion Pack – More Power, More Possibility

Powering Up Your Home, the Smart Way

Tesla’s latest innovation is here — the Tesla Powerwall 3 Expansion Pack. Already known for its sleek design and intelligent control, Powerwall 3 now offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for homeowners who want to increase their battery storage without installing a second full unit.

Whether you want to store more of your solar energy, prepare for power cuts, or reduce your electricity bills even further — the Expansion Pack makes it possible.

What Is the Powerwall 3 Expansion Pack?

The Expansion Pack is a DC-coupled battery module that connects directly to your Powerwall 3. It doesn’t have its own inverter — instead, it uses the existing Powerwall 3 infrastructure, which keeps the cost and complexity of installation lower.

Each Expansion Pack adds:

  • 13.5 kWh of additional usable storage
  • Seamless integration with your existing Powerwall 3
  • Shared use of the existing inverter and control system
  • Scalable storage up to 54 kWh per system

It’s ideal for homes that want more capacity without doubling up on equipment.

💰 Why Add an Expansion Pack?

If you already have Tesla Powerwall 3, the Expansion Pack is a logical next step. Here’s why:

Cost-Effective Scaling

Adding an Expansion Pack is significantly more affordable than a second Powerwall. You get more storage without the need for extra hardware like another inverter or gateway.

Faster Charging

A standard Powerwall 3 charges at around 5 kW. Add one Expansion Pack and that bumps up to 8 kW. With more solar or cheaper off-peak electricity available, the faster you can store it, the better.

More Independence

More storage = less reliance on the grid. Store solar during the day or charge overnight on low-rate tariffs, then use that energy when rates are high or during outages.

🛠️ How It’s Installed

There are two main installation options depending on your available space and preferences:

1. Stacked Installation

  • The Expansion Pack is mounted behind the existing Powerwall 3.
  • Compact footprint, ideal for garages and utility rooms.

2. Side-by-Side Installation

  • Both units are mounted on the wall next to each other.
  • Easier to service and often quicker to install.

Flexible cabling allows positioning the Expansion Pack up to 4 metres away from the main unit, so even tight spaces can be made to work.
