Unlocking Magic Mode: When Your Battery Works for You, Not Someone Else

Imagine a mode where your battery knows what to do - when to charge, when to sell, and when to sit tight. That’s what we call Magic Mode, and it’s powered by something surprisingly rare in the energy world: aligned incentives.

Unlike retailers or traditional VPPs, Powston doesn’t make money when you use energy - we only succeed when you do. That means our AI is tuned to one thing only: maximising your savings and profits. We reward it for every cent it keeps in your pocket, every network fee it dodges, and every perfectly timed export when the market spikes.

Behind the scenes, Magic Mode is constantly adjusting using:

• 5-minute AEMO pricing
• Tariff rules
• Weather forecasts
• Satellite cloud data
• A premium commercial PV forecasting service (we pay for this, so you don’t have to)

All of that feeds a machine learning model that doesn’t chase vague benchmarks. It chases your bill, aiming to drive it as low (or as negative) as possible.

The result? You stay in control, avoid giving up your battery to someone else's profit model, and start playing the energy game like a pro.

Magic Mode isn’t magic. It’s just what happens when control, intelligence, and incentives finally align.
