Programs that publish their list elsewhere

Origin Loop: Origin Energy lists its compatible battery and inverter models on its own page.

Synergy Battery Rewards, Reposit GridCredits and CovaU VPP Plan don't publish a battery list on the pages we checked, so they aren't in the table. Ask the operator about your model.

EnergyAustralia PowerResponse is demand response (no battery needed), so it isn't in the table: EnergyAustralia PowerResponse.

Getting a VPP-ready battery

The federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate requires your battery to be VPP-capable, whether or not you join a VPP. If you already know which program you want, tell your installer so the battery and inverter match that operator's list. Our 30-second check shows your rebate and puts you in touch with a CEC-accredited installer.

Origin Energy publishes its compatible models at https://www.originenergy.com.au/help-support/energy-products-and-services/batteries-and-loop-vpp/compatible-solar-batteries-and-inverter-models. We link to that list rather than copy it, because it changes often.

What does beta mean in a VPP battery list?

The operator lists that battery as beta or trial support. Check with the operator what that means for your model before you join.
