Your Battery | Your Profit

Powston connects large home and commercial batteries to Australia’s wholesale electricity market. We optimise charging and exporting based on 5-minute prices, weather, grid demand, and network constraints.

This is not a traditional VPP. You keep 100 percent of wholesale revenue and retain full control of your system. If you want transparency, control, and market access, Powston is built for you.

Case Studies

Tim's Energy Freedom Journey

Newcastle, NSW $685/qtr Saved

Tim achieved energy independence with Powston's AI optimisation and LocalVolts retail trading. 11 kW solar + 12.8 kWh battery system now saves Tim over $685/qtr, and earnt him a $464 NSW PDRS Grant.

Twynham's Commercial Success

Sydney, NSW $3000/qtr Saved

Powston helped Twynham's commercial site integrate solar and battery storage to reduce grid reliance and unlock wholesale energy trading benefits. Their smart scheduling system now cuts operational costs while maximising on-site energy utilisation.

Five stars, and my electricity bill has never been happier. Getting a solar battery installed always feels like a bit of a gamble, but Powston made it painless. The install team turned up on time, worked quickly and neatly, and were on top of the issues during the install. But the real magic happened after the installers packed up their van. Powston's ongoing monitoring has been genuinely excellent, quietly optimising things in the background and cutting my electricity usage by close to 90%. It's the kind of "set and forget" result every homeowner dreams about. Support has been just as solid. There's a handy app and website if you like to self-serve, but if you'd rather talk to an actual human, that is an option's too. Professional install, tidy team, and a battery system that's basically doing my job for me now. Highly recommend.

We've been using Powston together with Local Volts for several months now with our SAJ H2 and B2 setup - and have been very happy with the results. The AI has taken a lot of the guesswork out of managing our solar and battery system, automatically optimising when to store energy, use it, or export it back to the grid. All I do is watch it and ensure the system has good connectivity. We've been on the service just on a year now. Throughout summer we've consistently been in credit, which has been a great outcome. During winter we do import more power due to charging an EV and increased household usage, but even then our bills have remained relatively small (<$50 per month still in winter) and far lower than we expected. What stands out most is how hands-off the system is. The optimisation happens in the background, while the app provides clear visibility of performance and savings. We've also found the Powston team to be knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely focused on helping customers get the most from their energy investment. Overall, it's been a smart and effective solution that has helped us maximise the value of our solar and battery setup. We'd happily recommend Powston to anyone looking to take greater control of their energy costs.

I have been using Powston since October last year and it has been a great experience. The company is responsive to issues that come up and adrresses them quickly. If you are looking for a system that can have your solar and battery system make as much money as possible from the wholesale rates then you can't go wrong with this product.

Powston syncs your battery to real-time wholesale prices — trading every 5 minutes for you 

We're not a retailer so there's no retailer lock-ins. There's no complicated setup. Just smarter energy that works for you.

+ Charge low, sell high — Powston automatically tops up your battery when prices drop, and export when prices spike

+ Go beyond solar — Powston fills your battery from the grid (the grid pays you!) when the grid is absolutely saturated with solar and prices are negative. As crazy as it sounds, it's then more lucrative to import power, from the grid during the day, than it is to use your own solar panels

+ Smarter exports — Powston pauses exports when the market says “wait” — the wait...trading decisions are made for all sorts of smart 'future looking' reasons, it could be afternoon cloudy weather or it could be an upcoming morning spike 

+ Two trading modes — Magic Mode (set and forget: default mode) or Hacker Mode (full control: for python loving techies)

+ Smart home ready — Powston works with Home Assistant, EVs, air con, hot water, pool pumps & more
