Well, for a very short time until Tesla figured out it had made a mistake. But even then it was under 11k installed for around a year.<\/p>\n<p>There have been at least nine pricing changes on the battery and supporting hardware since, and only two of them reductions.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla stopped publishing prices on its Australian web site a while back, and little wonder given the way the cost of Powerwall has been moving. Industry sources tell us a <b> Tesla Powerwall costs around $16,500 &#8211; $17,000 <\/b>currently. That&#8217;s just for the battery system and Tesla Gateway. Including installation, it will set you back around <b>$19,000<\/b> for a fairly straightforward install <b> &#8211; <\/b>and more if additional switchboard work is required.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a big commitment that will significantly add to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar-calculator\/\">battery payback<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Historical Powerwall Price Movements<\/h2>\n<p>Below are some of the Australian pricing movements on Powerwall we&#8217;ve been tracking over the years. Note the prices are for the <b>battery and supporting hardware only<\/b>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>February 2017 (est.): $9,000<\/li>\n<li>February 2018: $9,600<\/li>\n<li>October 2018: $12,350<\/li>\n<li>July 2019: $11,700<\/li>\n<li>October 2020: $12,500<\/li>\n<li>February 2021: $13,300<\/li>\n<li>May 2021: $12,750<\/li>\n<li>March 2022: $13,700<\/li>\n<li>May 2022: $14,650<\/li>\n<li>October 2022: $16,500<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Or, in a prettier format:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-66403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tesla-powerwall-price-history.png\" alt=\"Powerwall price history - Australia\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tesla-powerwall-price-history.png 900w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tesla-powerwall-price-history-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tesla-powerwall-price-history-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Australians who installed a Powerwall in the early days must be feeling pretty happy with themselves; particularly if they were able to score some sort of subsidy to boot.<\/p>\n<h2>Popular Battery Choice Among Installers<\/h2>\n<p>In this year&#8217;s SolarQuotes Installers\u2019 Choice Awards, Tesla Powerwall was considered the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/best-home-batteries-2022\/\">best solar battery in 2022<\/a> in both the \u201cmoney no object\u201d and \u201cbudget\u201d categories. But that was before the last three price rises.<\/p>\n<p>It scored the prime spot in the &#8220;budget&#8221; category because it seems many installers couldn&#8217;t bear the thought of installing anything else. That&#8217;s all well and good, but the problem for Australians who aren&#8217;t fortunate enough to be in the &#8220;money no object&#8221; bracket is they really can&#8217;t bear the cost.<\/p>\n<p>On the consumer side of things; whether a Powerwall is worth it now depends on what&#8217;s important in the eye of the beholder (buyer). It&#8217;s not about payback for everyone. Some rate having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/101-guides\/buying-batteries\/#backup\"> backup power<\/a> and being able to charge from their solar panels in the event of a blackout pretty important; other folks just like fiddling with the latest tech. Others just love Tesla gear for whatever reasons.<\/p>\n<p>But Tesla isn&#8217;t the only show in town.
