The retained reference is $13,473 current typical installed reference. Require exact part numbers, one-line, load schedule, listing set, permit and utility scope, commissioning tests, credentials, warranty and final installed price before signing.
Current market
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.
Tesla requires an address-specific order or certified-installer quote; preserve solar, Gateway 3 or Backup Switch, panel work, permit, utility, tax and site scope rather than treating the national average as a bid
Powerwall 3 is the defended default when its integrated inverter, strong single-unit output and installer footprint fit the utility and service design, but the address quote and actual backed-up load schedule still decide value.
Other paths
These are not generic competitors. Each one represents a different way to buy into the same market.

What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
Powerwall 3 was checked against current manufacturer identity, specification or manual, support and privacy, current U.S. price or documented package boundary, independent review and bounded owner or installer evidence.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner and installer evidence is retained as a quote, commissioning, outage-test, software and service checklist for Powerwall 3, not an accuracy, safety, runtime, savings or reliability rate.
Reports are self-selected and span different capacities, loads, solar, generators, services, panels, utilities, codes, climates, installers, firmware, tariffs and system ages. They cannot prove code compliance, fire safety, savings, runtime, resilience, warranty performance or whole-home outcomes for another site.Self-selected exact-system owners and installers discuss quotations, commissioning, outage tests, standby loss, firmware, app access, service and repair. Reports are anecdotal, configuration-specific and do not establish runtime, savings, safety, reliability or a population failure rate.
Demand a one-line diagram, load schedule and written included scope, then run a controlled outage test with the intended high-start loads before the permit and installer relationship go cold
1 evidence recordSources
The page separates what a source states directly from what we conclude across sources.
Tesla identifies the current 1707000 series system as a 13.5 kWh LFP battery with an integrated solar inverter, configurable 120/240 V output and Tesla gateway or backup-switch paths for new solar, retrofit storage and islanded backup.
The current 2026 review retains an average EnergySage quote of about $998 per kWh for Powerwall 3, with one 13.5 kWh system averaging $13,473 installed before incentives.
Current technical documents support the retained capacity, power or disclosed peak gap, coupling, controls, transfer, expansion, ambient, safety, listing and installation boundaries.
The current limited warranty is ten years with capacity-retention and use conditions, internet and commissioning requirements and exclusions. Confirm certified-installer labor, gateway or switch coverage, removal, replacement, transfer and local service lead time
Tesla app, account, internet and remote firmware are central to monitoring, modes, alerts and warranty conditions. Review household and installer access, utility or VPP enrollment, location, interval data, retention and deletion under Tesla's policy
DOE guidance treats battery storage as a designed and permitted electrical system involving listing, siting, overcurrent, disconnect, signage, rapid shutdown, commissioning, utility and AHJ checks rather than a plug-in appliance.
Current IRS guidance says the section 25D residential credit applied through December 31, 2025 and is unavailable for property placed in service after that date; other ownership and incentive routes require separate advice.
Current marketplace guidance places a typical installed home battery near $15,000 before local incentives and emphasizes multiple complete quotes, permits and installer scope rather than equipment price alone.
A current independent marketplace review compares Powerwall 3 capacity, power, efficiency, warranty, installed quotes and ecosystem limitations. Quote data are market averages rather than a site promise.
Self-selected exact-system owners and installers discuss quotations, commissioning, outage tests, standby loss, firmware, app access, service and repair. Reports are anecdotal, configuration-specific and do not establish runtime, savings, safety, reliability or a population failure rate.
aPower 2 is the high-surge AC retrofit and generator-integrated system alternative at $17,655 current typical installed reference.
IQ Battery 10C is the Enphase-native compact AC storage alternative at About $13,000 current installed whole-home-backup reference.
Manufacturer identity, specification or manual, support, current U.S. price or a documented complete-system boundary, independent editorial and bounded owner or installer evidence were checked on August 19, 2026. This market covers current U.S.-supported stationary residential battery and energy-storage systems or materially different complete configurations. It excludes portable power stations, EV-only vehicle-to-home systems, bare cells and rack batteries without a supported residential system path, unsupported marketplace equipment, discontinued or orphaned systems, cosmetic bundles and capacity-module padding. Preserve exact nameplate and usable energy, continuous power, timed peak or its disclosed absence, AC or DC coupling, inverter, controller, gateway, transfer and islanding, backed-up circuits versus service, generator and solar compatibility, expansion, ambient derating, mounting, thermal management, fire and stored-energy hazards, and any coolant, refrigerant or suppression-service requirement. LFP or another chemistry, BMS protections, UL 9540 system listing, UL 9540A test evidence and UL 1973 battery listing reduce or characterize specific risks but do not make a system fire-free or guarantee AHJ approval. Retain the exact listed combination, NEC edition, permit, fire review, utility interconnection and permission to operate. Preserve installer access, app, local control, cloud, privacy, firmware, warranty, throughput, parts and service. Current IRS guidance says section 25D is unavailable for residential property placed in service after December 31, 2025; state, utility, lease, business and VPP programs are separate. No capacity, power, transfer speed, solar, generator, weather mode, tariff schedule, app forecast, quote or incentive guarantees runtime, savings, outage survival, resilience or operation of every home load.
