SSL update watch: what a new listing means for WA buyers

Last updated: 21 October 2026

The Supported Solutions List (SSL) is maintained by Synergy. It lists inverters approved for control, with the CSIP-AUS client each one uses. A listing under "DER-Storage" is the one that meets the technical requirements for the WA Residential Battery Scheme, and a green tick means the listing is ready to be activated under a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program such as Synergy Battery Rewards. When an inverter appears or changes status on the SSL, it affects whether a battery system built around it can earn VPP credits and access certain rebates.

Why the SSL matters

Not every CEC-approved battery system qualifies for WA programs. A battery system needs an inverter on Synergy's Supported Solutions List to be eligible for the WA Battery Scheme. Other scheme conditions apply. In practice:

  • CEC-approved battery and inverter (national requirement for any grid-connected installation)
  • An inverter listed under DER-Storage on the SSL (the WA-specific requirement)
  • Installed by an SAA-accredited installer, with whole-of-site compliance where an existing system is involved

Without a listed inverter, you can still install the battery and claim federal STCs, but you should not expect the WA Battery Scheme or Synergy Battery Rewards.

What to check before you sign

When your installer quotes a system, verify these details:

  1. Inverter model code. Ask for the exact inverter model number. A series can be listed while one model within it is not. Screenshot the SSL entry for your records.
  2. Listing type. Check the entry sits under DER-Storage, not only DER-Generator, and note whether it carries the green VPP-ready tick.
  3. Provisional or full listing. Synergy's table shows provisional and full listings in separate columns. Note which one your inverter has and ask your installer to confirm it meets the scheme's conditions.
  4. Client or gateway. Some inverters need a specific CSIP-AUS client or gateway to comply. Check the client column and make sure the quote includes it.
  5. Existing equipment. For an AC-coupled retrofit, Synergy expects the whole site to comply. Make sure your existing inverter and any new inverter or gateway are covered.

When listings change

Synergy updates the SSL periodically. Changes can include:

  • New additions: an inverter newly listed under DER-Storage
  • Status changes: a listing moves between provisional and full, or its client changes
  • Delistings: rare, but a product can be removed if it no longer meets requirements

If you've already installed a system that gets delisted, your existing VPP enrolment is typically grandfathered, but this varies by program terms. Always check with Synergy directly if you're concerned.

Where to check

The current SSL is published on the Synergy website, with its last-updated date. Check it within a week of signing any battery contract, and confirm your chosen inverter is still listed with the correct specifications.

SSL status can change at any time. Your eligibility depends on the listing status at the time of sale and commissioning. Always verify directly with Synergy before making purchase decisions based on VPP eligibility.
