Tesla’s Powerwall 3 offered delivered up to 13.5 kWh of usable capacity, 11 kW continuous output and an integrated solar inverter, with the ability to stack units for a total of combined 54 kWh. At the same time, the The Solis‑Alpha package combined paired a 5 kW AC‑coupled inverter with 26.6 kWh of battery storage, priced from AU$3,699 installed, installed but without backup power capability.

By released at the end of June, June showed the rapid growth of rooftop solar capacity rose to 26.4 GW, covering GW across roughly 3.9 million installations. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate scheme had installed 487,000 discounted battery systems, delivering providing about 13 GWh of behind‑the‑meter storage and on track to hit half a million installations by August.

More than 490,000 home‑battery systems had been installed by July 2026, still adding roughly 2,000 new units each week.
