Powerwall FAQs
How long will a Tesla Powerwall power my home?
In an outage, your Powerwall(s) will automatically disconnect from the grid and restore electricity in your home in a matter of milliseconds. The duration of outage protection with Powerwall 3 depends on your starting charge level, energy usage, how many batteries you have, and the amount of solar feeding your home or recharging your Powerwall(s).

How many Tesla Powerwalls should I get?
For many customers, one Powerwall is sufficient. However, depending on your personal usage, backup desires, and utility bill savings potential, your Sunrun consultant may recommend more than one Powerwall. Give us a call to get in touch with a Sunrun consultant today.
Where will my Tesla Powerwall battery be placed?
A certified Sunrun installer will mount your Tesla Powerwall on the wall, usually next to your electrical panel inside your garage or on the outside of your home.
How much does Tesla Powerwall cost?
You can get Tesla Powerwall for as little as $0 down. Plus, both our monthly and full amount leases come with worry-free performance and 24/7 monitoring and maintenance.

Can I add Tesla Powerwall to my existing Sunrun solar system?
At this time, we only offer Tesla Powerwall as an add-on to an existing Sunrun installation in California. If you’re outside of California, stay tuned for future opportunities to add to your Sunrun system.
What is the difference between Tesla Powerwall and other batteries?
Whole-home backup: Many homeowners with a single Powerwall 3 are able to have whole-home backup.
This means the one Powerwall 3 unit is connected to all your home's circuits. However, the question isn't whether your battery can power your whole home, but for how long. Note that similar to a cellphone or laptop, battery life declines more quickly when using more energy all at once. So, if you’re anticipating a longer outage, being mindful of your usage and limiting backup to only necessary loads is wise.
Battery life: The Powerwall 3 offers robust storage capacity of 13.5 kWh* for extended battery life, allowing you to keep your critical appliances running in an outage.
App experience: The Tesla app has a user-friendly interface available to Sunrun customers with one or more Powerwalls that lets you access additional energy insights related to your home energy production, consumption, and storage.
“Blinkless” backup: Powerwall features "blinkless" outage transition, which provides seamless power supply transfer during outages, eliminating any flicker or interruption in electricity. That means no need to reset your clocks and router.
Stacking: Finally, you can stack multiple Powerwalls in your new Sunrun installation to increase flexibility and protection in an outage, particularly in extended outages.
Connect with a Sunrun consultant and determine the battery storage and backup solution that will best meet your energy needs.
