Tesla Powerwall for Middlesbrough Homes
A Powerwall 3 stores your solar or cheap overnight electricity and, with the Backup Gateway 2, keeps your Middlesbrough home running during a power cut. It works with new panels or alongside an existing solar system.

Why Choose a Tesla Powerwall?
The Powerwall 3 combines a large 13.5kWh battery with a built-in solar inverter in a single unit, which keeps the installation tidier and the setup simpler than a separate inverter and battery.
Its real strength is backup. Paired with Gateway 2, a Powerwall detects a power cut and switches your home over automatically in a fraction of a second. Most people only notice because the lights flicker. For homes that lose power in winter storms, that matters.
The Tesla app is the other draw. It shows your solar generation, home consumption, battery level and grid usage in real time, and lets you switch between modes depending on whether you’re prioritising savings or backup.
Why a Tesla Certified Installer Matters
Tesla only awards Certified Installer status to companies that complete its training and meet its installation standards. Being certified means:
- Direct stock allocation. We order Powerwalls directly from Tesla rather than waiting on a third-party supplier.
- Full Tesla warranty. Your system is registered with Tesla and backed by the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Direct technical support. We have a line straight to Tesla if anything needs escalating.
- Correct commissioning. Your system is set up properly from day one, including backup configuration and app access.
We’re one of only a small number of Tesla Certified Installers in the North East.
Adding a Powerwall to Existing Solar Panels
Plenty of Middlesbrough homes have had solar for years without storage, exporting most of what they generate. A Powerwall 3 can be retrofitted to an existing system, storing your surplus so you can use it in the evening instead of buying it back at peak rates. We’ll check your existing inverter and setup at the survey and confirm exactly what’s involved.

Powerwall 3 — What Sets It Apart
The Powerwall 3 features a built-in solar inverter, eliminating the need for a separate inverter unit and simplifying installation for new solar systems. With 13.5kWh of usable storage, it can power the average UK home through the evening and overnight entirely from stored solar energy. The Backup Gateway provides true whole-home backup during grid outages, switching in under 20 milliseconds — imperceptible to most appliances.
Installing Across Middlesbrough
We install throughout the town and surrounding areas, including Linthorpe, Acklam, Marton, Nunthorpe, Coulby Newham, Hemlington and Ormesby. The Powerwall 3 is weather-rated for outdoor installation and is commonly fitted to an external wall, in a garage or in a utility room. We’ll recommend the best position for your property at the survey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a Tesla Powerwall 3 to my existing solar panels?
Yes. The Powerwall 3 can be added to most existing solar systems as an AC-coupled system, leaving your current panels and inverter in place.
Can I add more storage later?
Yes. Each Powerwall 3 can take up to three Expansion units, each adding 13.5kWh of storage, without adding another inverter. Expansion units only work with a Powerwall 3, not a Powerwall 2.
Will a Powerwall 3 keep my power on in a power cut?
Yes, when installed with Tesla’s Backup Gateway 2, which is included in all our Powerwall 3 prices. It automatically disconnects your home from the grid during a power cut, and your Powerwall and solar panels keep your home running.
Can a Powerwall 3 be installed outside?
Yes. The Powerwall 3 is rated IP67 and works in temperatures from −20°C to 50°C, so it is well suited to an outside wall. We will recommend the best location at your survey, in line with current battery safety standards.
Does the Powerwall 3 work with a three-phase supply?
The UK Powerwall 3 is a single-phase unit. For a three-phase home we would normally recommend one of two routes: connecting the Powerwall to a single phase, or a Sigenergy system, which supports three-phase natively. We will advise which suits your property at your survey.
Should I choose Tesla or Sigenergy?
Both are excellent, and we install both. The Powerwall 3 is simple and polished, with a first-class app and up to 11kW of power. Sigenergy offers more flexibility, with modular storage, four solar inputs and three-phase support. See our Sigenergy page for a full comparison, or ask us at your free survey.
