How a North-West Sydney Homeowner Unlocked More Value from His Existing Solar System with Tesla Powerwall 3
Dr Asokan got solar panels installed in 2020, now combined with a Tesla Powerwall 3 for greater bill savings.
For many homeowners, installing solar is the first step towards reducing electricity bills. But without battery storage, much of the excess solar energy generated during the day is exported back to the grid instead of being used at home when it's needed most.
That was the challenge facing Dr Asokan, a North-West Sydney homeowner.
Despite installing rooftop solar six years earlier, he was still paying around $300 per month for electricity.
With both him and his son regularly working from home in the evenings, and a household consuming around three times more electricity than many neighbouring homes, the solar system alone wasn't reducing their electricity bills as much as expected.
The issue wasn't the solar system itself. It was that the excess energy generated during the day couldn't be stored. Instead, it was exported back to the grid, leaving the household to purchase electricity again each evening when demand was highest.
To make better use of the solar energy his home was already generating, Dr Asokan upgraded his existing system with a Tesla Powerwall 3.
The Missing Piece: Battery Storage
Adding battery storage allows the family to rely far more on the energy produced from their own roof.
For Dr Asokan, it was to get the full benefit from the solar system he had already invested in.
Why He Chose Tesla Powerwall 3
After researching his options, he decided the Tesla Powerwall 3 was the right solution for his home.
As one of the most recognised home battery brands, Tesla gave him confidence in the long-term performance and reliability of the system.
Through the Tesla app, he can also monitor how his home generates, stores and uses energy, giving him greater visibility and control over his home energy.
A Seamless Experience
Wattle Powr worked closely with him to assess his existing system and design a battery solution tailored to the way his family uses electricity.
From the initial consultation through to installation, the process focused on clear communication, personalised recommendations and high-quality workmanship, making the transition to battery storage straightforward and stress-free.
By upgrading his existing solar system with a Tesla Powerwall 3, Dr Asokan's household is projected to save approximately $1,380 per year in electricity costs.
