Can Powerwall 3 backup my whole home?
Whole-home backup depends on your home's electrical load, panel setup, and which high-demand appliances you want running such as HVAC, well pumps, hot tubs, etc. If whole-home isn't the best fit, we can design a critical-load setup that covers the most important circuits.
