A Powerwall network consists of at least one Powerwall and Backup Gateway batteries. The Backup Gateway provides Powerwall features for energy storage, metering, and tracking. It monitors grid connexion, safely disconnects your home and begins backup activity during an outage. The Backup Gateway also provides contact features for up to 10 Powerwall devices, and device updates are provided over-the-air.
Powerwall is a rechargeable home battery device, which stores solar or grid energy and makes it available on request. This can power your home during the night, or in case of power outage it will back up your home. Powerwall is lightweight and easy to incorporate into your home, with its built-in battery inverter. As with all Tesla products , new features with over-the-air updates are introduced to Powerwall.

Components which form a Powerwall System
A Powerwall installation requires at least one Powerwall battery, a Backup Gateway and standard electrical hardware such as circuit breaker panels, conduits, junction boxes, or electrical disconnections as specified by your specific installation and local electrical codes. In certain cases, for an extra expense, the conduit and other electrical equipment can be concealed inside the wall.
Whole Home Backup System
Tesla will recommend the number of Powerwall units needed to back up your entire home (whole home backup) when designing your device. That means your Powerwall device will be able to support all of your appliances during a power outage. You can then instal more Powerwall units during longer outages to keep your house working.
If you order several Powerwalls for your network, these can be mounted on a wall or on the floor as single side-by - side modules, or stacked front-to-back (up to 3 deep per stack) and mounted on the floor.
Side-by-Side Mounting
Powerwall units must have adequate clearance on either side for electrical connexions and proper ventilation when placed side by side at a wall.
Front-to-Back Mounting
Powerwall must be placed on the floor when stacked front-to-back, and the stack must be attached to an adjacent wall and the Powerwall modules must be connected together with Powerwall Stack Package hardware.
Stacking Larger Powerwall Systems
Separate stacks of 3 units should be built for stacked systems of more than 3 Powerwalls, with each stack connected to a wall.
