Tesla Powerwall 3
What works
- 13.5 kWh usable, 11.5 kW continuous — runs central AC and full home load
- Built-in solar inverter — no separate inverter purchase needed
- 20 ms automatic transfer switch — smooth grid-to-battery transition
What doesn't
- Requires licensed electrician — $1,500-$3,000 installation cost
- Permanent fixture — can't move it if you relocate
- Must purchase through Tesla or a certified installer
EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra
What works
- No permanent installation required — portable and movable
- Modular — start at 6 kWh, expand to 21.6 kWh
- Lower entry price at $5,799 for the base unit
What doesn't
- 7.2 kW continuous output insufficient for central AC in larger homes
- Full 21.6 kWh expansion costs $13,000+ — comparable to Powerwall total
- Solar integration less efficient than Powerwall's DC-coupled design
Bottom line
Our pick: Tesla Powerwall 3. It edges out the alternative on 13.5 kwh usable, 11.5 kw continuous — runs central ac and full home load. That said, EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra still wins on no permanent installation required — portable and movable — consider it if that single trade matters most for your use.
