One of the big advantages we had, was that my brother Hugh, who you will see on this channel, had already undergone this exercise and I could tap in to his knowledge. I tried to find alternate battery systems to Tesla for comparison. But singularly failed. I failed to find an alternative  that could give me the Emergency Power Supply (EPS) protection, in other words when the grid goes down, we don&#8217;t notice, in that the battery and system switches automatically without any loss of power tripping the computers etc. <\/p>\n<p>I must have obtained over twenty quotations, no the system I could find goes quite what the Tesla Powerwall 3 gives me. The installation consists of a Tesla Powerwall 3 and twenty seven 450w peak power out put solar panels with the option to add a Tesla DC battery which we will be doing as soon as they are delivered. Interestingly the two most competitive quotes were from Tesla Powerwall 3 installers. The price ranged from \u00a327,000 to \u00a316,500. <\/p>\n<p>I am predicting we will eliminate all our house hold power bills plus 10,000 miles of car power and should even create a small surplus by exporting to Octopus. IF you decide to join Octopus you can get \u00a350 in your account and so can I by using this refence code. I don&#8217;t think the \u00a350 is available unless you are referred, not that I can see anyway.
