The challenge
Turning price volatility into revenue
Volatile day-ahead and intraday markets reward storage that can buy energy cheaply and sell or self-consume it when prices peak.
Midday solar and off-peak hours push wholesale prices low, while evening peaks are expensive — a spread storage can capture.
Exporting PV at low feed-in tariffs leaves money on the table versus time-shifting it to high-price hours.
A bankable trading case needs verified equipment limits, market access, degradation assumptions and operating costs.
How it works
How arbitrage works
Project-configured energy-management logic can follow approved tariff schedules or external price inputs when the selected platform and permissions support them.
- 01
Price signal
A supported EMS, tariff input or aggregator interface can provide price signals; the data source and control path are confirmed per project.
- 02
Charge low
The battery charges from cheap grid power or surplus PV during low-price windows.
- 03
Discharge high
Stored energy is discharged to the site, or exported where permitted, within the project-specific battery, inverter and grid limits.
- 04
Operate within limits
The cycling schedule is set against manufacturer limits, warranty terms, state-of-charge reserve, degradation assumptions and the project revenue case.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Can the system trade on the day-ahead and intraday markets?
The system can be configured to follow supported price signals or tariff schedules where interface access and control permissions are confirmed. Market access and any export arrangement are handled through the energy supplier or aggregator; final operating logic is project-specific.
Is arbitrage compatible with PV self-consumption?
The two operating objectives may be combined where the selected platform, interfaces, market arrangement and available battery capacity support the required dispatch logic. Priorities and reserve limits are configured per site.
What payback can we expect?
Payback depends on market access, price spread, tariff, cycling limits, degradation, fees and operating costs. A site-specific scenario can be prepared from customer-provided data, but it is not a guaranteed return.
