Tesla’s Big Announcement: The Next Million Powerwall Rebate
Thinking of installing a Tesla Powerwall 3 but wondering if it’s better to wait?
With solar rebates falling and prices shifting, it’s fair to ask whether 2026 will still offer good value — or if acting sooner is smarter. You might’ve also heard Tesla is rolling out something new for buyers.
Tesla just launched the “Next Million Powerwall Rebate” to mark one million installations worldwide. This rebate offers up to $1,500 per address for homes installing Powerwall 3 systems — and yes, it stacks with the new federal battery rebate in 2026.
In this article, you’ll learn what the rebate includes, who qualifies, and how to time your installation for maximum benefit.
What Is Tesla’s ‘Next Million Powerwall Rebate’?
To celebrate reaching one million Powerwall installations globally, Tesla has launched a new rebate for Australian homeowners. The “Next Million Powerwall Rebate” gives eligible households a rebate when they install the Powerwall 3 or Powerwall 3 Expansion Units. Registrations are currently open for the rebate as of 6 November 2025 up until 31 March 2026 with installations required to be completed between 1 January and 30 September 2026.
Rather than a direct discount, the rebate comes in the form of a Virtual Prepaid Visa Rewards Gift Card.
How Much Can You Get Back — and On What Products?
Under the new rebate, Tesla is offering:
- $750 per Powerwall 3 or Expansion Unit
- Up to $1,500 per address
The rebate applies specifically to the Powerwall 3 and its Expansion Units — not earlier models like the Powerwall 2. This means it’s targeted at new installs or system upgrades using Tesla’s latest generation battery.
Can You Combine This with the Federal Battery Rebate?
Yes — Tesla has confirmed that the Next Million Powerwall Rebate can be combined with the federal “Cheaper Home Batteries Program”, that commences on 1 July 2025. That means eligible homeowners can stack two separate rebates:
- Up to $1,500 from Tesla, depending on how many Powerwall 3 units you install
- The federal rebate, which varies depending on battery size, more information can be found on the cheaper home batteries program here
This stacking opportunity could significantly lower your upfront costs, making the Powerwall 3 a much more accessible option for many households in 2026.
Just make sure you meet the requirements for both — including using a Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved installer for the federal rebate, and registering within Tesla’s timeframes for theirs.
