Powering a Busy Family Home with Tesla Powerwall 3
Tim and his wife, Florence, sharing their experience with Wattle Powr after upgrading their family home with solar and Tesla Powerwall 3 in Kellyville, NSW.
For Tim and Florence, investing in solar and battery storage came down to one clear goal: reduce the cost of powering their busy family home.
With two young children, a swimming pool, air conditioning and all the appliances that come with modern family life, their household has significant energy needs.
Their new solar and battery system is estimated to save the family $4,300+ per year on electricity costs, while giving them greater control over how they power their home.
A Complete Solar, Battery & EV-Ready System
To support their household’s energy needs, we helped them install:
25 × AIKO 470W solar panels (11.75kW)
10kW Tesla built-in solar inverter
13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall 3
7.4kW Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector
The solar system generates energy to power the home during the day, while the Powerwall 3 can store energy for use when solar production drops.
Tesla’s established reputation was also an important factor in their decision. For Tim, the Powerwall stood out as a premium battery option that suited what they wanted to achieve with their home energy.
Finding the Right System for Their Home
From the initial quote, they found the process with Wattle Powr straightforward.
After submitting their application, the team followed up to understand their household and walked them through the proposed system, how it would work with their energy usage and what they could expect in potential savings.
What stood out most to Florence was Wattle Powr’s tailored approach.
“They try to understand every unique household and give you the best solution based on your unique situation.”
The team was transparent about the different options available, helping the couple make an informed decision based on their needs and budget.
Clear Communication Through to Installation
Communication was another highlight of their experience.
Tim described Wattle Powr’s communication as “superior”, with the team keeping them updated throughout the process and helping them prepare for installation.
The professionalism of the local installation team on the day gave them further confidence that they had made the right choice.
With their new system installed, Tim and Florence are looking forward to over $4,300 in annual electricity savings and finding ways to make the most of the energy their system produces.
They’re also thinking ahead. With a Tesla Wall Connector already installed, an EV or plug-in hybrid could be the family’s next step, extending the benefits of their home energy system beyond the house.
For other homeowners considering solar and battery, their advice is simple: find an installer who listens and understands your needs. For them, that meant choosing a system designed around their family today, with room for where their energy needs may take them next.
