Synergy Battery Rewards eligibility and terms

Synergy's Supported Solutions List dated 6 November 2026 marks the Growatt MOD 10KTL3-XH with its inbuilt client ready for VPP activation. The checked Sigenergy SigenStor and Sungrow SH storage entries have no activation-ready tick.

Confirm the installed inverter, client and approved battery combination with Synergy. The calculator uses a battery selection only, so Growatt APX, Sigenergy SigenStor and Sungrow SBR all require confirmation before event credits can be estimated.

Synergy may pre-charge, hold and dispatch a supported battery for up to 30 activation events per year. The contract caps the activation window at four hours. Standby typically adds about two hours. Activation exports earn 70 c/kWh, with activation and energy-offset credits each capped at installed battery capacity per event. The system requires at least 5 kWh of battery capacity and at least 2.5 kW of battery inverter capacity. Customers cannot decline individual activation events. Customers can set a reserve in the battery app. Synergy says it cannot access that reserve and publishes no fixed minimum percentage.

Two-year VPP agreement under the WA Residential Battery Scheme; customers can opt out after that term. During the initial two-year term, customers may opt out only if they no longer reside at the property or life-support equipment is required there. After the initial term, customers may opt out at any time with at least 20 business days' notice.

Tesla Electric · Checked 15 September 2026

Dynamic plans for Powerwall homes

Compare the published import rates for your network. Exports earn 90% of the real-time wholesale market price, with separate variable credits for grid support.

Invitation required. The current plan sheets specify Powerwall 2 or 3, a compatible smart meter, Tesla App and Tesla Wallet. Check your invitation and address with Tesla before switching.

These offers are listed for reference, with no annual savings estimate or cheapest-plan ranking. Wholesale export prices and Tesla’s battery dispatch need interval-level modelling. The plan sheets’ 1c export entry is not treated as a guaranteed fixed feed-in tariff.

Eligibility, credits and battery control
  • Approved grid exports and a residential property outside an embedded network are required.
  • Tesla may charge, discharge or pause the Powerwall for optimisation and grid services. Solar curtailment is supported on Powerwall 3, not Powerwall 2.
  • The Powerwall must stay online at least 95% of the time and cannot participate in another optimisation program.
  • The published $100 pilot credit depends on participation. Grid-services income is variable. Neither is assumed in Compare’s savings estimates.
  • Late-payment and distributor service fees may apply. Read the full plan sheet and Tesla’s fees schedule.
  • Victoria appears in the terms, but no Victorian Dynamic rate sheet was available in the linked document register when checked. No Victorian price has been assumed. These offers do not cover WA, NT, Tasmania or the Ergon network.
