Your Smart Stack FAQs

What is Smart Stack?  

Smart Stack is a battery monetising solution that enables your business to earn income by using your battery to help stabilise the grid. It’s powered by AI and automatically manages energy trading, selling excess energy back to the grid. 

How does Smart Stack work?  

The system operates as a set-and-forget solution, turning your battery into a revenue-generating asset. It monitors your site’s energy use and feeds excess energy back to the grid at optimal times for financial gain. 

How does Smart Stack reduce payback periods for batteries?

By participating in energy markets like the Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) market, Smart Stack generates revenue for your business, significantly reducing the payback periods that have traditionally been a barrier to battery investment. This makes batteries financially viable for businesses of all sizes. 

How easy is it to implement Smart Stack in my business?

Our solution is plug-and-play, requiring minimal effort from you. We handle the entire installation process, fitting a small device to your battery and inverter. The system automatically trades energy and generates revenue without requiring manual intervention, and ongoing management is taken care of through our performance agreement. 

What makes Smart Stack different from other battery solutions?

Unlike other systems, Smart Stack gives you direct access to wholesale energy markets through our partnership with PowerSync. Our AI-powered technology, developed alongside CSIRO, ensures efficient, reliable, and compliant automated energy trading. You also have the flexibility to choose how much control you want over the system. 

Why partner with PowerSync? 

As proven by publicly available NEM data on FCAS participation, PowerSync are significantly outperforming all competitors in the space. In addition, the product was developed by people with a background in commercial solar and storage, so no one better understands the impact of this opportunity on businesses with interest in clean energy.  

What size battery can participate in this scheme?

Due to associated fixed costs, the minimum battery size is 200kW. The maximum is 30MW. The majority of battery models are suitable for Smart Stack integration. 

Are there other eligibility criteria I should be aware of?

To participate in Australia's FCAS market, a battery must meet AEMO’s technical and performance standards, including fast response times, sustained output, accurate frequency measurement, and real-time communication capabilities. It must also be registered with AEMO as a Market Ancillary Service Provider (MASP) or generator, undergo compliance testing, and follow dispatch instructions. Smaller systems can participate via aggregation, like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).
