Tesla Powerwall 3 in Scotland.
13.5 kWh storage. Integrated 11.5 kW solar inverter. Whole-home backup. Installed across the Central Belt by Tesla-trained Ecoaim engineers.
Built for Scottish homes.
The Powerwall 3 makes particular sense in Scotland for three reasons: the built-in inverter cuts cost vs separate AC-coupled batteries, the unlimited-cycle warranty matters when you cycle daily on Octopus Flux, and the EPS backup is genuinely valuable in Highland and Borders areas where storm-induced power cuts still happen most winters.
Key features
- 13.5 kWh usable capacity (most home brands cap at 5-10 kWh)
- Built-in 11.5 kW solar inverter — no separate inverter required for new installs
- Whole-home Emergency Power Supply (EPS) — backup during power cuts
- 10-year unlimited-cycle warranty (one of the strongest in the market)
- Outdoor-rated IP67 — install internal or external, including coastal
- Tesla mobile app — live monitoring, time-of-use scheduling, storm watch
- Octopus Flux compatible — automated arbitrage dispatch
- Stackable up to 4 units (54 kWh) for larger homes or off-grid
