Hi, I'm planning on installing a 8.16 kW system along with 2 Powerwalls.

Under the design summary, they listed my backup type as Partial Home. The rep told me that I would need 3 Powerwalls to get a Whole Home backup system. Is that true?

Can I specify that I would like a Whole Home backup configuration instead? I figure this would allow me the flexibility to turn on whatever appliance I want, I would just need to be careful with my total load on the system.

Am I correct? Are there any pros and cons that I'm missing?

Thanks.
