Thinking about Tesla Solar or Powerwall?
Tesla Solar Panels and Powerwall pair home energy generation with battery backup. The right system depends on your roof, electric bill, utility, and local incentive landscape - treat this page as a starting point, not a guarantee of savings.
Why people choose Tesla Solar / Powerwall
- • Generate home electricity and offset utility bills over time
- • Powerwall provides backup power during grid outages
- • Time-shift solar production into evening use
- • Eligibility for utility grid-services or VPP programs in some areas
Current incentive caveats
The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Form 5695, section 25D), which covered home solar and battery storage, ended for expenditures made after December 31, 2025. Do not build a 2026 quote around a 30 percent federal credit.
Homeowners may still reduce costs through state programs, utility incentives, grid-services payments, and leasing options, but availability depends on your state, utility, and the rules in effect when you order. Confirm current federal, state, and utility programs with the IRS and a qualified tax professional before relying on any specific dollar figure.
Referral benefit
A Tesla referral link may provide a separate solar benefit (recently advertised as $400 off Tesla Solar Panels) if you qualify under Tesla's current referral terms. Referral benefits are separate from any tax credit, utility rebate, or leasing offer. The link must be clicked before you place the order.
Confirm before ordering
- • Tesla's current solar and Powerwall pricing for your address
- • System size suggested for your usage and roof
- • Purchase vs. lease vs. financing options and total long-term cost
- • Current state, local, and utility incentives and any application deadlines
- • Whether your utility offers net metering, VPP, or grid-services payments
- • Whether your chosen package is eligible for the current referral benefit
Before you place the order
If you plan to use a referral link, open it before checkout. Any current benefit attaches to your Tesla account at that point, and Tesla decides eligibility.
Referral disclosure: If you use my referral link for an eligible purchase, Tesla may provide a buyer benefit to you and may provide referral credits or another benefit to me. I do not charge you for using the link. Tesla determines eligibility and benefits.
