Unique Insights
With Powston, you can back up your sales conversations with real data, case studies, and proven results – showing customers exactly why your installation + Powston is a winning combination.
We give you the insights you need to answer the big questions every customer asks:
- What will this do to my energy bill? – Estimate the impact before installation.
- Does inverter size matter? – Show how different system sizes change outcomes.
- How much battery is enough? – Model the effect of different storage capacities.
- When do prices spike? – Understand market behaviour and set expectations.
By combining your installation expertise with Powston’s analytics, you’ll turn complex energy conversations into clear, customer-friendly value propositions that close deals faster.
Want to go the extra mile?
Powston isn’t just about batteries and inverters – it’s about building a smart energy ecosystem that makes every part of the home work harder (and smarter) for your customers. By connecting additional assets, you can deliver bigger savings, more comfort, and greater resilience.
Here’s what’s possible with Powston:
- EV Chargers – schedule charging against solar, or the lowest-cost times.
- Hot Water & Heat Pumps – leverage cheapest availabe energy.
- Pools & Pool Heaters – run pumps and heat pools cheaply.
- Floor Heating Systems – pre-heat the home during low-price windows for comfort that doesn’t cost a premium.
- Air Conditioning – pre-cool or pre-heat when wholesale prices dip, without compromising comfort.
- Home Automation – integrate with smart devices (Home Assistant).
- Storm Preparedness – automatically prioritise charging when severe weather is forecast.
Choose Your Level of Control
Every customer is different. With Powston, they decide how hands-on (or hands-off) they want to be.
Options include:
- Easy Mode – Powston does it all. Our algorithms and AI tuning optimise automatically for the lowest energy bills.
- Moderate Mode – Customers can review performance, set manual thresholds, or flag events they’d like to fine-tune.
- Energy Hacker Mode – For the adventurous. Join our online community, share and test algorithms, and customise rules to build the ultimate trading strategy.
And for installers, Powston opens another door: you can even develop your own proprietary algorithm and package it exclusively with your customers, giving you a true point of differentiation in the market.

Reselling Powston
By packaging Powston with your next solar + battery deployment, you’ll:
- Stand out as a leader – offer customers cutting-edge access to the wholesale energy market.
- Earn additional margin – receive reseller pricing on Powston controllers.
- Build long-term relationships – stay connected as customers explore more batteries or upgrades.
