REC solar panels are manufactured primarily in Singapore, in a state-of-the-art, vertically integrated facility. This allows REC to maintain full control over the production process, from raw silicon to final module assembly, ensuring high-quality and consistent solar panels. Known for sustainable manufacturing practices, REC produces innovative and efficient solar technology, making it a preferred choice worldwide for residential and commercial installations.

The Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh Energy Storage System) starts from $11,900 AUD, GST inclusive, before installation. To enable backup functionality, a Tesla Backup Gateway 2 is also required, which starts from $1,700 AUD, GST inclusive. Installation costs will vary depending on the complexity of your setup and location.

The Tesla Powerwall 3 offers several upgrades over the Powerwall 2, making it a more advanced energy storage solution. Key differences include:

• Capacity & Power: Both Powerwall 2 and Powerwall 3 have a storage capacity of 13.5 kWh. However, Powerwall 3 has improved power output, allowing for better support of larger loads and enhanced backup capabilities.
• Efficiency & Performance: Powerwall 3 has optimized efficiency, with updated inverters and energy management, which can provide better overall system performance, especially for larger households or commercial setups.
• Design & Installation: The Powerwall 3 features a more compact, streamlined design and can be easier to install in tight spaces. It also offers more flexible installation options, making it a versatile choice for various property layouts.
• Compatibility: Powerwall 3 integrates more seamlessly with newer Tesla energy products and includes improved compatibility with solar systems and EV chargers, making it ideal for future-proofing.

Both models are reliable options, but the Powerwall 3 brings the latest in efficiency, flexibility, and power, making it a superior choice for those looking for a more robust energy storage solution.
