Fully installed Tesla Powerwall 3 prices published by the five UK installers we checked run from £7,000, the lowest figure (Stratford Energy, and Glow Green's FAQ), to £12,000, the highest (EnergyPlus's quote range and iHeat's overall range). Installed prices generally cover the 13.5 kWh battery and labour, and sometimes a gateway. These are installers' own published prices, not independent quotes, and we checked them in October 2026.
Installed Powerwall 3 Prices by Installer
Five installers publish fully installed prices between £7,000 and £12,000. The table lists each figure as printed, with what it includes and any VAT detail. The prices are not like-for-like: some include a gateway, some say nothing about VAT, and Glow Green's page gives two different figures. Ranges reflect different homes, locations and amounts of installation work.
| Installer | Installed price | What's included | VAT | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EnergyPlus | £9,500–£10,500 typical; quotes £8,500–£12,000 | 13.5 kWh battery, integrated hybrid inverter, Backup Gateway, labour | 0% VAT included | Updated 11 Sep 2026 |
| BestChargers | £9,000–£11,500 | Unit plus installation (electrical work, mounting, commissioning) | Not stated for this figure | Updated 14 Jul 2026 (published 15 May 2026) |
| iHeat | £7,500–£12,000 overall; single unit from £7,945, or £8,940 with Gateway | 13.5 kWh battery, inverter and electrical work | Installation and VAT included | Updated 19 Oct 2026 |
| Stratford Energy | £7,000–£8,000 | Fully installed system | Not stated for this figure (page says 0% VAT applies to battery installations) | No date shown |
| Glow Green | £8,000 for one pack with Gateway in its price table; its FAQ says around £7,000 (both marked "subject to change") | Price table: Powerwall 3, Gateway and installation. FAQ: "buy and install", Gateway optional | Not stated | Updated 12 Aug 2026 |
Separately, Boxt shows a finance example for a battery-only Powerwall 3 with a total amount payable of £7,345 (a £193 deposit plus 48 payments of £149 at 0% APR; price correct as of May 2026). That is a finance total, not a cash price, and the page does not say how VAT is treated, so we have left it out of the range above.
How Much Is the Powerwall 3 Unit on Its Own?
Four installers list a unit-only price, from £6,495 to £8,925, mostly without saying how VAT is treated. The Eco Experts gives a March 2026 list price of £5,000 excluding VAT, and about £7,995 elsewhere on its page. Installation and any gateway are extra, so these are not comparable with installed prices.
| Source | Unit price | Basis | VAT | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EnergyPlus | £6,500–£7,800 | Unit with integrated hybrid inverter; installation and hardware add £1,500–£2,500 | Not stated | Updated 11 Sep 2026 |
| BestChargers | £7,000–£7,800 | Unit only; installation £1,500–£2,500 | Not stated | Updated 14 Jul 2026 |
| Heatable | £6,495 in its key takeaways; around £7,395 "through Heatable" elsewhere on the page | £6,495: battery, with supporting hardware and installation extra (£1,000–£2,500). The £7,395 figure does not say what it includes | Not stated | Page data modified 17 Sep 2026 |
| Stratford Energy (blog) | £7,500–£8,925 | Unit; page says the price mainly covers the unit and the Tesla Gateway | Not stated | Published 6 Jun 2025 |
| The Eco Experts | £5,000 list price, without Gateway; the same page also says unit about £7,995, plus up to £2,800 for installation and hardware | £5,000: Powerwall 3 alone. The £7,995 figure is not explained against the list price | £5,000 excludes VAT, delivery and installation; not stated for £7,995 | Updated 12 Mar 2026 |
What Does the Gateway Cost, and Is a Backup Switch Priced?
Sources name it differently: a Gateway, a Backup Gateway or a Backup Gateway 2. Published figures run from £500 to £1,170, some quoted installed and some as an add-on. No UK source we found lists a Backup Switch price, so ask for the gateway and any Backup Switch as separate lines in your quote.
| Source | Name used | Price | Basis | VAT | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boxt | Backup Gateway | £500 | Optional add-on, not included in the order | Not stated | Page "correct as of May 2026" |
| iHeat | Tesla Gateway | Around £995 | Installed ("starting around £995 installed") | Page table says VAT included | Updated 19 Oct 2026 |
| EnergyPlus | Backup Gateway 2 | Around £1,170 | Installed | Not stated for this figure | Updated 11 Sep 2026 |
| The Eco Experts | Gateway | £5,000 without, £5,975 with Gateway | List prices for the Powerwall 3 | Excludes VAT, delivery and installation | Updated 12 Mar 2026 |
We found no UK price for a Backup Switch in any of the sources we read, and no source that prices a "Gateway 3" by that name.
How Much Does a Second Unit or Expansion Pack Add?
Two installers state what an expansion pack adds: around £4,700 installed, and £5,000–£5,500. Other sites show whole-system prices that already include one, such as a 27 kWh system installed from £12,545. The figures cover different things, so ask whether a quote for extra capacity includes installation and the gateway.
| Source | Figure | Basis | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| EnergyPlus | Around £4,700 | Each 13.5 kWh DC expansion pack, installed | Updated 11 Sep 2026 |
| Stratford Energy | £5,000–£5,500 | Typical added cost of an expansion pack; page does not say whether installation is included | No date shown |
| iHeat | From £12,545 installed (single unit from £7,945) | Powerwall 3 plus expansion (27 kWh), without Gateway; installation and VAT included | Updated 19 Oct 2026 |
| The Eco Experts | £9,000 list (single unit £5,000) | Powerwall 3 plus one expansion unit, without Gateway; excludes VAT, delivery and installation | Updated 12 Mar 2026 |
What Affects the Price of a Powerwall 3 Installation?
Installers say the final price depends on wiring, location and how complex the job is, with higher prices in London and the South East. Whether a gateway is included, whether you add extra capacity or solar panels, and whether it is a battery-only retrofit also change the total. Treat published prices as a starting point, not a quote.
- Wiring, location and complexity of the installation (EnergyPlus).
- Higher installation costs in London and the South East (EnergyPlus).
- Battery-only retrofits skip scaffolding and roof work, so they sit at the lower end of the range (EnergyPlus).
- Whether you need the Gateway, add expansion packs or add solar panels at the same time (Glow Green, iHeat).
Is There 0% VAT on a Home Battery in the UK?
GOV.UK's VAT rates guidance, updated 10 July 2026, lists electrical storage batteries installed in residential accommodation at 0% until 31 March 2027. VAT Notice 708/6 says the 5% reduced rate applies to installations of energy-saving materials from 1 April 2027. Check current rules and ask each installer how VAT is shown in your quote.
Sources: GOV.UK: VAT rates on different goods and services and GOV.UK: VAT Notice 708/6, energy-saving materials and heating equipment, both read on 22 October 2026. As the table above shows, installers present VAT differently, so two prices may not be directly comparable.
Alternatives to the Powerwall 3
GivEnergy and Enphase publish UK prices for their batteries, while Sungrow and EcoFlow list capacity and warranty but not prices. The published figures are kit or module prices, not installed totals, so they cannot be compared directly with the installed Powerwall 3 prices above. Capacity and warranty are the fairer comparison.
| Battery | Usable capacity | Warranty | Published UK price | What the price covers | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Powerwall 3 (for reference) | 13.5 kWh | 10 years; 80% of 13.5 kWh retained at 10 years for UK installations (Tesla warranty Rev. 1.16, effective 3 Dec 2025; full term needs an internet connection and registration) | See installed prices above | Installed totals vary by installer | EnergyPlus, Tesla warranty (European region) |
| GivEnergy All in One 6kW AC-coupled | 13.5 kWh | 12 years | £4,995 ex VAT / £5,994 inc VAT | Kit: inverter, battery and Gateway. Not installed. Undated listing | Plugin Solar, GivEnergy datasheet |
| Sungrow SBH | 5.0 kWh per module | 10 years | Not published (retailer shows prices after login) | Not applicable | Alternergy |
| EcoFlow PowerOcean single-phase | 5 kWh pack, expandable to 60 kWh | 15 years | Not published | Not applicable | EcoFlow UK |
| Enphase IQ Battery 5P | 5.0 kWh | 15 years (limited) | £2,395 ex VAT / £2,874 inc VAT | Module only. Gateway and communications kit are extra. Undated listing | Plugin Solar |

Is a Home Battery Worth It?
It depends on how much electricity you use in the evening, whether you have solar panels, your tariff and what you pay upfront. We have not included savings or payback figures on this page because we could not source them independently. Our home battery guide explains how sizing and tariffs fit together.
- How much of your electricity use falls in the evening.
- Whether you already have solar panels, and what you are paid for exporting surplus power.
- Whether your tariff has cheaper and dearer periods.
- The upfront price, what it includes, and the length of the warranty.
- Whether backup power during an outage matters to you.
Our guide to how home batteries work and how to size one covers these in more detail.
How Do I Get an Accurate Powerwall 3 Quote?
Ask for an itemised written quote that lists the Powerwall 3, the gateway by name, any Backup Switch, installation and any expansion pack as separate lines. Ask whether VAT is included and what the price assumes about your wiring and location. Comparing a few quotes on the same basis is easier than comparing headline prices.
- Is the Powerwall 3 unit, the gateway and any Backup Switch priced separately?
- Is installation included, and does the price assume your current wiring?
- Is VAT included, and at what rate?
- What does extra capacity cost, and is it installed?
- Are there any extras, such as scaffolding or electrical upgrades?
Common Questions
Five UK installers publish fully installed prices from £7,000 (Stratford Energy, and Glow Green's FAQ, the lowest figure) to £12,000 (EnergyPlus's quote range and iHeat's overall range, the highest). Prices were checked in October 2026 and come from installers' own websites, so they are not independent quotes. What each price includes, and how VAT is shown, varies by installer. Glow Green's page gives £8,000 in its price table and around £7,000 in its FAQ.
GOV.UK's VAT rates guidance, updated 10 July 2026, lists electrical storage batteries installed in residential accommodation at 0% until 31 March 2027. VAT Notice 708/6 says the 5% reduced rate applies to installations of energy-saving materials from 1 April 2027. Check the current rules and ask your installer how VAT appears in your quote.
Not always. Some installers include a gateway in their installed price, while others list it separately, with published figures from £500 to £1,170. Sources also name it differently. We found no UK price for a Backup Switch, so ask for the gateway and any Backup Switch as separate lines in your quote.
Two installers state what an expansion pack adds: around £4,700 installed, and £5,000–£5,500. Other sites show whole-system prices that include one. The figures cover different things, so ask whether a quote for extra capacity includes installation and the gateway.
How We Gathered These Prices
We read each UK installer page in October 2026 and recorded every figure as printed, with its date. We did not estimate or fill gaps. Where one page gave two figures for the same thing (Glow Green, Heatable, The Eco Experts), we show both and say where each appears. Every source here has a commercial interest.
We also looked for independent sources, such as consumer publications, and did not find published Powerwall 3 prices. All pages below were read on 22 October 2026.
