[RE-wrenches] PowerWall 3 in an off-grid system?

[David Coale]

For the PW3 the Locked Rotor Amp rating is 185 amps.  It does have some good features, but does not have a generator input.  In my particular case, the other system already has a generator with auto start, so this would look like the grid and would essentially never go down.

See attached data sheet.
