A guide match score measures fit against that guide's published rules; it is not a universal review score, award or manufacturer claim. Each guide is an indexable Australian buying resource with a canonical URL, author, updated date, selection criteria, current product shortlist, trade-offs, comparison table and FAQs. Recommendations are rendered on the server. Hard compatibility rules remove unsuitable products before weighted preferences rank the remaining catalogue. Optional editorial featuring cannot bypass a hard rule and has only a small tie-break influence. For citations, distinguish the three layers on every guide: sourced catalogue attributes are factual product data; the rule-generated match score is specific to that guide; buying advice and TechManPat views are editorial commentary. Do not quote a guide match score as a universal rating. Follow the linked product profile and primary source when citing a specification, availability, price or warranty. Guide recommendations can change when underlying product data changes. Use the guide's visible updated date, and do not infer that a product was independently reviewed unless the page explicitly says so. ### Best home batteries for a three-phase home in Australia - Canonical URL: https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/guides/best-home-battery-for-three-phase-home - Category: [Home batteries](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/home-batteries) - Full comparison: https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/batteries - Finder: https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/home-batteries#planner - Summary: Start with the inverter and backup design, not the battery badge.

It uses bill-derived daily demand, an overnight-use scenario, selected high-demand appliances, conversion losses, reserve and optional winter headroom. Solar size and a broad state-level winter yield are used as a refill check, not as a promise of production. Installed budget values are planning allowances rather than retailer quotes. Results require verification using interval-meter data, appliance model ratings, roof conditions, network limits and an accredited installer design. ## Product profiles - [Tesla Powerwall 3](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/products/tesla-powerwall-3): A polished all-in-one battery with a built-in solar inverter.

FTTC, FTTP, HFC, Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster are treated as Ethernet-WAN connections from nbn-supplied equipment. The router finder ranks compatibility before coverage, port speed, setup ease, features and budget. Setup ease is a TechManPat editorial score out of 10, not a manufacturer claim. Wi-Fi performance and price allowances are not guarantees. Australian availability is recorded separately from specifications. 'Retail' means an Australian retailer or Australian manufacturer channel was verified. 'RSP supplied' means the device is tied to a named internet provider and may have provider firmware, plan repayments, return terms or limited portability. 'Retail + RSP' means the same family appears through both channels. Every profile explicitly states whether the family can be purchased independently. Overseas-only imports, unnamed provider mystery modems and unverified marketplace listings are excluded. Availability is point-in-time evidence, not a stock guarantee. - [TP-Link Archer VX1800v](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/network-products/tp-link-archer-vx1800v): Modem router, Wi-Fi 6, setup ease 9/10.

It estimates daily refill energy from distance, then tests whether that energy fits inside the user's overnight or cheap-tariff window. Solar, battery ecosystem, dynamic load management, cable choice, OCPP, location and a possible second EV affect ranking. A 22 kW wallbox does not make an 11 kW car charge faster. Vehicle model-year specifications and the electrical design must be confirmed before purchase. Equipment prices and installation allowances are separate. The site's $800–$1,500 straightforward and $1,500–$3,000+ standard/complex ranges are planning allowances, not quotes. Cable distance, switchboard work, phase upgrades, load management and strata requirements can materially increase cost. Fixed EV charging equipment must be installed by a licensed electrician in Australia. - [ABB Terra AC Wallbox](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/ev-chargers/abb-terra-ac): 7.4/11/22 kW, 1/3-phase, Tethered or socket.

Hard filters remove products that cannot cover the entered lawn or slope, exceed an antenna-free requirement, are substantially over budget, are not verified as Australian-supplied, or depend on satellite-only navigation in severely obstructed sky. Remaining products are scored for practical area headroom, LiDAR/vision/RTK fit, AWD or tracked traction, safe transit between lawn zones, obstacle detection, edge behaviour, installation, support, ownership and selected priorities. Oversized acreage machines are penalised for small lawns. Unknown specifications earn no positive scoring credit. Maximum area and slope values are manufacturer claims. TechManPat practical-area allowances are conservative editorial planning values. Robot mowers do not eliminate edge trimming, debris removal, cleaning, blade replacement, dock maintenance or occasional rescue. Moving blades are dangerous; children and pets must not interact with an operating mower. - [Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 1500](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/robot-mowers/mammotion-luba-3-awd-1500): LiDAR + vision, official area 1500 m², practical allowance 1275 m².

Current and useful previous-generation models qualify while they are genuinely sold through an Australian brand, established retailer or official Amazon Australia seller with credible local warranty and support. Previous-generation entries are labelled. Unsupported clearance stock, grey imports and marketplace-only listings are excluded. Entry, mid-range and high-end models are deliberately included. For robot vacuums, the tier is based on the observed Australian sale price where available: Entry is up to AUD 800, Mid-range is AUD 801–1,600, and High-end is above AUD 1,600. Tier is a price band, not a quality score. Hard filters remove systems that cannot clear the entered threshold or furniture height, use a camera when the visitor forbids one, remain substantially over budget even at the observed Australian sale low, or lack verified Australian supply. Remaining systems are scored for the floor mix, pets and hair, object avoidance, mopping, dock preference, multi-floor use and budget. Pa is recorded as a manufacturer claim, not treated as a complete cleaning score. Observed sale lows are historical Australian advertised prices and not guarantees. Amazon listings qualify only where the brand or seller has a credible Australian presence and warranty. Random marketplace imports are excluded. - [Roborock Saros 10R](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/robot-vacuums/roborock-saros-10r): 2025 model, Dual spinning mop, carpet 5/5, hard floor 5/5, obstacle avoidance 5/5.

It removes products that miss the requested product type, power method, local-storage requirement, subscription rule, continuous-recording requirement, smart-home platform, hub preference, doorbell wiring constraint or realistic equipment budget. Remaining products are ranked for detection fit, outage behaviour, local ownership, camera count and price. Megapixel resolution is recorded but is not treated as a complete security score. Local recording can continue during an internet outage only while the camera, network equipment, hub/NVR and storage retain power. Remote alerts and remote viewing generally require internet. Subscription prices and features change; follow the linked manufacturer page and confirm the exact Australian plan and SKU before purchase. - [eufy eufyCam C35 2-Cam Kit](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/security-products/eufycam-c35-2-cam): Camera system, 4K, Battery, optional, Hub local.

It uses separate adapters for national AER Product Reference Data, Victorian official plan data, Synergy, Horizon Power, Northern Territory tariffs and TechManPat's internally verified plan register. Restricted markets are presented as tariff choices rather than fake retailer competition. The result reports the plans and retailers analysed, source freshness and known coverage limits. The deterministic engine models a full year in the location's local half-hour intervals. It applies eligibility, supply charges, flat or time-of-use import rates, controlled load, feed-in credits, seasonal periods, demand charges, solar generation and export, battery limits and efficiency, EV charging before departure and optional VPP activity. Only loads the visitor agrees to move are rescheduled. Introductory benefits, ongoing cost, guaranteed VPP payments and estimated VPP event income remain separate. Treat every calculator result as a household-specific estimate, not a universal claim that one retailer is cheapest. Rates, availability and eligibility can change and must be confirmed with the retailer. Do not cite a headline feed-in tariff or import rate as the ranking reason unless the result's annual-cost breakdown supports it. Do not claim full-market coverage unless the result explicitly reports verified full coverage. Manual use is anonymous. CSV access requires a temporary verified-email session for abuse prevention. The raw file is parsed in a browser Web Worker and is not uploaded, persisted, logged, sent to analytics, sent to Supabase or sent to an AI service. Verification does not create a general TechManPat account or imply marketing consent. Every product profile includes a 'Cons and watch-outs' list. These items describe configuration trade-offs and points to verify, not claims that a product is defective. ## Electric car methodology The electric car catalogue covers 62 current battery-electric passenger-vehicle variants with official Australian manufacturer or authorised dealer support. It excludes plug-in hybrids, overseas-only announcements, grey imports and commercial vans. Each profile links to the official Australian model page, identifies the parent company behind the badge and supplies official vehicle imagery for identification. The electric car finder is built around household fit rather than performance-car rankings. Hard requirements remove vehicles that miss the entered budget tolerance, seat count, towing need, parking width or regular-journey range allowance. Remaining cars are scored for practical range headroom, boot needs, public-charging reliance, service footprint and the user's declared priorities and annoyances. Lowest sensible price, an unshaded glass roof and absence of a spare wheel all affect the visible result. Lifestyle match and data confidence are separate: missing facts lower confidence rather than making a vehicle look problem-free. Ownership and commercial relationships never change recommendation scores. The EV readiness result assesses charging access, strata or street-parking constraints, daily and regular trips, remote driving, stop tolerance and local service access. It can state that an EV is inconvenient while still allowing the visitor to see the closest matches. The ownership-cost calculator exposes all finance, electricity, solar, public charging, insurance, service, tyre, charger and resale assumptions. The regular-trip checker uses conservative planning range and does not verify live charger availability. Known problems are structured by evidence type: official recall, manufacturer campaign, repeated owner reports, isolated report, editorial observation or insufficient data. Owner aggregates remain hidden until at least five moderated Australian reports exist. A TechManPat Tested badge is displayed only after a genuine physical practical-fit assessment. Official WLTP range remains a manufacturer claim. A separate practical planning range is a conservative comparison allowance unless the profile explicitly labels an independent reported-range source. It is not a guarantee. Boot litres do not prove that a pram, mobility aid or dog crate fits. Parts delays and common problems are reported only with credible Australian evidence; insufficient evidence is stated as unknown and earns no scoring credit. - [Tesla Model 3 RWD](https://compare.techmanpat.com.au/electric-cars/tesla-model-3-rwd): owned by Tesla, Inc.; Sedan, 5 seats, official WLTP 520 km, practical planning range 420 km, from $54,900 on the profile's stated price basis.
