The Powerwall battery system is expected to launch with an expected price tag varying between $3600 – $4000 USD, with the local Rand price influenced by the currency’s performance against the Dollar.

The four kits in question are the RUB-TES; a basic system for an existing solar installation, the RUB-TES3, a complete Tesla/SolarEdge package, the RUB-TES5, a Tesla/SolarEdge package with 5kWp of solar panels, and finally the RUB-5ES5.2, which will arrive with 5kWp of solar panels with two Powerwall units.
