Tesla review.
Tesla's Powerwall 3 combines a 13.5 kWh battery with a built-in solar inverter. It's widely known, with strong app and backup features, but Tesla doesn't publish an Australian office address.

Rated separately for each product.
A brand can make a great inverter and an ordinary battery, so each gets its own rating, verdict and page.

Powerwall 3's built-in inverter does the job well and keeps everything in one box. As an inverter alone it's middle of the pack; its strength is the complete battery system.

Still one of the best home batteries you can buy: a polished all-in-one with whole-home backup, a warranty with no throughput cap for home use, and IP67 sealing. Support is by phone rather than through a dedicated local energy office.
