Tesla Powerwall Solar Battery

This federal program offers a 30% discount on the purchase and installation of eligible small-scale battery systems when connected to new or existing rooftop solar panels. The rebate is available to homeowners, small businesses, and community facilities. Batteries must be between 5 kWh and 100 kWh in capacity, with the rebate applying to the first 50 kWh of usable capacity.

The rebate can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installing a battery system. For example:

• 11–13 kWh systems: Approximately $4,000 off the installation cost.
• 50 kWh systems: Up to $18,600 in savings.

These savings can help reduce your electricity bills by up to $1,100 annually for households with existing solar panels. If you’re installing both solar panels and a battery, the savings could be as high as $2,300 per year.

To qualify for the rebate:

• You must be a homeowner, small business owner, or part of a community facility.
• The battery system must be installed alongside a new or existing rooftop solar system.
• The battery must be listed on the Clean Energy Council’s approved list.
• Installations must be carried out by approved installers.
• Only one rebate per property is allowed.

The program is not means-tested, so it’s available to all eligible property owners.

1. Choose an Approved Installer: Select a Clean Energy Council-accredited installer who offers eligible battery systems.
2. Get a Quote: Obtain a detailed quote that includes the cost of the battery system, installation, and any additional fees.
3. Confirm Eligibility: Ensure the battery system is on the approved list and meets all program requirements.
4. Apply for the Rebate: Your installer will assist you in applying for the rebate through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).
5. Installation: Once approved, proceed with the installation of your battery system.

• The rebate applies to new installations only.
• Pre-installed batteries are eligible if they are turned on after July 1, 2025.
• The rebate is non-transferable and can only be claimed once per property.
• State-based incentives, such as Queensland’s Solar Battery Booster program, may also be available to further reduce costs.

The Tesla Powerwall is a rechargeable home battery system that stores excess solar power. Instead of sending extra energy back to the grid, you can store it and use it at night, during cloudy days, or even in a power outage.

Tesla Powerwall is one of the most advanced solar batteries available. It’s sleek, compact, and comes with smart features like real-time monitoring through the Tesla app. It helps you maximise your solar investment, cut down electricity bills, and enjoy greater energy independence.

A Tesla Powerwall generally lasts 10–15 years. It comes with a strong warranty (usually 10 years), ensuring reliable performance for a long time when installed and maintained properly.

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of the Powerwall is its backup capability. It automatically switches on during a power outage, keeping your essential appliances—like lights, Wi-Fi, and fridge—running without interruption.

A single Tesla Powerwall has a usable capacity of 13.5 kWh. If you need more power, you can install multiple units together to increase your storage capacity.

Absolutely. The Powerwall uses advanced lithium-ion battery technology with built-in safety features such as overcharge and temperature protection. Tesla also designs it to be weather-resistant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Yes. If your energy needs grow, you can easily add more Powerwall units to your existing system. Many homes and businesses choose to start with one and scale up over time.

You can track your battery performance anytime using the Tesla mobile app. It lets you see how much energy you’re generating, storing, and using in real-time—giving you full control over your power consumption.

Yes for sure. By storing excess solar power and using it when grid electricity is expensive, you can significantly lower your electricity bills. Over time, the savings help offset the cost of the system.
