Tesla Powerwall Rebates Now Available in Queensland
Residents in Queensland, Australia can now take advantage of rebates for the Tesla Powerwall. The state government has recently launched the Battery Booster program, which offers incentives for battery energy storage systems.
The cost of a single Tesla Powerwall is AUD$10,400, with an additional $1,700 for one gateway. These prices include GST but exclude delivery, installation, and other fees, which will be provided by the certified installer.
The Battery Booster program offers rebates of up to AUD$4,000, depending on household income. Qualified Queensland homeowners with a combined yearly income of less than AUD$180,000 can receive a rebate of AUD$3,000. For households where the highest earner makes $66,667 or less annually, the rebate increases to AUD$4,000.
