What we can tell you

Read from the figures on this page. No review written yet.

9.32 kWh is below the smaller-home band: this is one module of a larger stack.
It is CEC-approved, which is a condition of both the federal STC discount and the WA Battery Scheme.
We can't score it: a value score needs a price and full specs, and without them any number would be guesswork.

The WA Battery Scheme (up to $1,300) needs a Synergy-approved inverter and VPP enrolment. We don't know which inverter you'd pair this with, so it isn't deducted above. Ask your installer. STCs assume about $39.9 a certificate. Estimates only; your quote will vary.
