Tesla Powerwall Rebate: How UK Homeowners Can Claim Up to £750 Back

In plain English:

If you order a Powerwall 3 or Powerwall 3 Expansion between 1 December 2025 and 31 March 2026, and have it installed, connected and registered by 31 May 2026, Tesla will give you £375 per unit, up to £750 back, paid as a Virtual Visa reward card.

If you’ve been sat on the fence about adding a battery to your solar, this is exactly the kind of nudge that turns a “maybe later” into a “right, let’s get a quote”.

Boring-but-important bit: details and dates can change, so always double-check the latest Ts & Cs on Tesla’s site and with your installer before you sign on the dotted line.

[1] What is the Tesla rebate?

Tesla’s hit a big milestone - one million Powerwalls installed worldwide - and to celebrate, they’ve launched a time-limited rebate on Powerwall 3 and Powerwall 3 Expansion units in the UK.

Stripped of the marketing fluff, it works like this:

• You pay the normal installed price for your Powerwall 3 (or Powerwall 3 + Expansion).

• Your installer fits it, commissions it and links it to your Tesla account.

• You (or your installer) register the system on Tesla’s rebate portal and submit the paperwork.

• Once Tesla approves everything, they send you money back as a Virtual Visa® reward card, via email. You can spend it pretty much anywhere that accepts Visa, just like a normal card.

So it’s not a discount on the invoice on day one - your quote and install cost stay the same - but it is real cash back in your pocket once the system is installed, registered and signed off.

[2] How much can you actually get back?

Here’s the bit everyone really cares about.

For UK homeowners, the headline numbers are:

• £375 back per Powerwall 3 or Powerwall 3 Expansion

• Up to £750 max per household / Tesla account

So in practice:

• Fit 1 × Powerwall 3 → you get £375 back

• Fit 2 × Powerwall 3 / Expansion units → you hit the cap at £750 back

And remember, this is on top of:

• Any installer discounts you manage to haggle

• The existing 0% VAT on qualifying solar + battery installs

[3] Key dates & deadlines (UK)

Here’s where it gets a bit “terms and conditions apply”.

The UK rebate runs on some very specific dates - your installer might phrase them slightly differently, but they’re all working from the same Tesla playbook.

Typical Tesla rebate timeline in the UK:

Purchase / order window

You need to order your system within this window:

• 1 December 2025 – 31 March 2026

(Powerwall 3 and/or Powerwall 3 Expansion listed on the contract)

Installation window

Then you need everything fitted and talking nicely to the Tesla app by:

• 1 December 2025 – 31 May 2026

(Installed, commissioned and connected)

Registration & claim

• Register your purchase on Tesla’s rebate portal by 31 March 2026

• Upload final docs (proof of installation, serial numbers, etc.) by 31 May 2026

Once Tesla signs it all off, your Virtual Visa reward card usually turns up within a few to around 10 weeks, based on what certified installers are seeing in the wild.

Moral of the story:

If you want the rebate, don’t wait until the last week of March to start getting quotes.

By then, everyone else will have had the same bright idea - and diary space for installs in spring will be disappearing fast.

[4] How to actually claim the Tesla rebate (step-by-step)

The paperwork sounds scarier than it is. In reality, most of the heavy lifting is done by your installer – but here’s how it works in plain English.

Step 1: Get a quote from a Tesla Certified Installer

First, you’ll need a Tesla Certified Installer – the rebate only applies if the system is supplied and fitted by one of Tesla’s approved partners.

They’ll:

• Design and size your system

• Price up Powerwall 3 (and solar, if you’re adding panels too)

• Confirm your job fits within the rebate dates

Step 2: Place your order within the rebate window

When you’re happy with the numbers, sign on the dotted line – but make sure:

• Your sales contract date falls between 1 December 2025 and 31 March 2026

• The contract clearly shows:

• Powerwall 3 / Expansion units being installed

• Your installation address

• The installer’s name

• The final price and quantities

These details are exactly what Tesla will ask for when you register the rebate.

Step 3: Installation & commissioning

Your installer then cracks on with the job. They will:

• Fit the Powerwall 3 (and solar, if included)

• Commission the system and get it talking to your Tesla app

• Make sure the system shows correctly in your Tesla account – crucial for the rebate to track properly

You mostly just need to be home, make tea, and enjoy watching shiny new kit go on the wall.

Step 4: Register on the Tesla rebate portal

Once you’ve got your paperwork:

You (or your installer on your behalf, depending how they work) will usually:

1. Go to Tesla’s rebate portal (linked from Tesla’s support pages)

2. Log into or create your Tesla account

3. Enter your system details and installation address

4. Upload the requested documents:

• Contract / invoice

• Possibly photos or serial numbers

Step 5: Submit the final claim after installation

Once everything is fully installed, online and behaving itself:

• Log back into the rebate portal

• Confirm that installation is complete and commissioned

• Upload any final proof Tesla asks for

If everything checks out, Tesla processes your claim and emails over your Virtual Visa reward card within their stated timeframe - turning your shiny new battery into a slightly cheaper shiny new battery.
