Guaranteed Grid Rewards Plan

Battery Capacity (kWh)

When you join the Guarantee plan, we offer your battery to Grid Operators 24/7. However, activations are rare, so your system will be in Standby mode most of the time.

During Standby mode, a portion of your total energy (kWh) is reserved for potential activations. The remaining energy is controlled by Emaldo AI mode and used to reduce your day-to-day energy costs and for Peak Shaving, if enabled.

Guaranteed Grid Rewards Scheme: How battery capacity is allocated and used

Note: The battery state of charge targets are to not exceed 80% or drop below 30%, however small fluctuations either side of these limits may occur in some circumstances.

Inverter Power

For homes fitted with a 16 or 20 amp fuse, inverter power for household use is limited to 4.5kW to ensure the fuse is not overloaded. If your fuse is rated above 20 amps, the inverter power available for household use is limited to 4.8kW. In both cases, this typically meets most domestic needs. The remaining 6kW of inverter capacity is used by Emaldo for grid balancing.

If your home has a 16 or 20 amp fuse and regularly requires more than 4.5kW of power, we do not recommend enrolling in the Guaranteed Grid Rewards programme. There will not be enough spare power available to charge the battery effectively.

Similarly, if you have expansion cabinets, a 16 or 20 amp fuse, and no solar panels, we do not recommend joining the programme. In this scenario, there will not be enough power remaining to charge the expansion cabinets.
