| Certifications | IEC 61000-6-1/-6-3, IEC 62477-1, IEC 62109-1/-2, IEC 62933-5-2, IEC 62619, UL 1973, UL 9540A and AS/NZS 4777.2 on Tesla's Australia/New Zealand Powerwall 3 datasheet. | The exact Australian BAT-10K1PS0B-01 datasheet publishes IEC 62619, UN 38.3, UL 1973, UL 9540 and UL 9540A; the current Australian battery export lists the BAT-10K1P base model through 20 December 2027. |
| Warranty scope | Australia and New Zealand; Tesla Motors Netherlands B.V. provides ten years and 70% of 13.5 kWh for solar self-consumption, time-based control and backup with unlimited cycles. Other or mixed applications are capped at 37.8 MWh measured at the battery AC output. | The exact Australian datasheet publishes a 10-year warranty. Current SolarEdge battery terms govern retained energy, eligible use and remedies. |
| Warranty remedy | Repair, equivalent replacement or market-price refund at Tesla's option. | Repair, replacement or credit at SolarEdge's option. |
| Labour and reinstallation | The voluntary warranty does not promise a general labour reimbursement entitlement. Removal and reinstallation costs are not expressly promised; relocation requires Tesla's written consent. | Labour and travel are excluded. Removal and reinstallation are excluded; moving the battery can end coverage. |
| Freight | An RMA is required and no unconditional owner freight reimbursement is stated. | Eligible outbound replacement shipping is covered. |
| Transfer and registration | A subsequent owner may claim with proof of ownership; Tesla's Australian registration workflow provides an Initiate Transfer process in the Tesla app. Unapproved relocation from the original site can void cover. Registration and extended internet connectivity are required for the full term; cover may reduce to at least four years if they are not maintained. | Transfers to an assignee for the remaining term if the battery stays installed at the original site. Proof of ownership and original-site conditions apply; no transfer deadline is stated. |
| Grid/network approval evidence | The exact Australian identity is single-phase 230 V and is listed at 5, 10 and 11.04 kVA with Backup Gateway 2. The installed maximum-output setting must be marked on the product label and, once confirmed, can only be changed through Tesla Support. At a three-phase site the gateway can accept three-phase feed-in, but Powerwall 3 remains a single-phase source and site backup scope is installation-specific. | The battery is DC-coupled; backup and grid connection depend on a compatible SolarEdge inverter and interface. |

| Review note | Claims start with the selling Tesla Certified Installer or Tesla's direct service route. Tesla Motors Australia Pty Ltd is active locally, while the voluntary warranty names Tesla Motors Netherlands B.V. as provider. | The local datasheet identifies BAT-10K1PS0B-01 and the current regulator export lists its BAT-10K1P base family. |

| Register: registration | conditional: Powerwall must be registered with Tesla and connected to the internet for the full warranty term.

These checks sit beside the benchmark score. They are site, tariff and contract questions that no product score can settle.
Ask for every model number to appear on the quote and order. The Clean Energy Council product lists are live: STC creation requires listed products at installation, and network requirements may also depend on current approval.
Have the retailer state the supply phase, inverter connection limit, export limit and any export-control cost. The local network connection agreement, not a generic datasheet, determines those settings. See the Australian Government's connection guidance.
Ask which bills or interval data, tariff, feed-in rate, export limit and future loads support the savings and payback claim. Self-consumed electricity and tariff timing usually matter more than a headline feed-in rate. See the system sizing and battery savings guidance.
Define the usable energy, output power, backed-up circuits and outage behaviour. Confirm whether VPP participation, an internet connection, or an additional controller changes the configuration, reserve level, warranty or support path.
Keep the retailer, installer, manufacturer warranty and escalation path in the contract. Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply separately from any manufacturer warranty; where one business supplied both product and installation, it is generally responsible for the remedy. See the ACCC guidance.
A score lead is only meaningful inside this shared class or tier. Weigh it against the specification and evidence rows above before deciding.
