And that is probably the only scalable solution really. Even if Tesla made a proper synchronising 3 phase gateway for the PW2, you would still have the problem when islanding that the DC buses are not linked, so if your house were not perfectly in balance, you are going to kill one before the others, leading to complete shutdown if you are following Australian electricity rules.Hopefully the rumoured LFP based PW3 will have a 3-phase built-in hybrid inverter.
You should be able to hook up 2x MPPTs, 3-phase grid tie, 3-pole switchboard breaker all in the one unit. Then when you go off-grid your entire switchboard is an island energized by the solar and battery. would make installation more simple and allow for proper grid stabilization whereby grid operator can remotely command PW3 to stop exporting solar or start exporting battery power during extreme events.
I look forwards to seeing what they come up with next, although with cell shortages, I am not holding my breath.
