The business model
How a battery makes money
One trading day, three moves. Buy energy when it is worthless, sell it when the grid is desperate - and let the optimiser time every megawatt to the cent.
- 01
Forecast the price
Every five minutes, Voltaic forecasts wholesale prices across each region days ahead - blending demand, weather, solar, and constraint signals.

Charge cheap
When solar floods the grid and prices go negative, the optimiser charges - the battery is paid to absorb energy nobody else wants.

Discharge into the spike
As the sun sets and demand ramps, prices erupt. The battery discharges at full power into the peak, capturing the entire spread.
$4,720/MWhsold into the spike
That single spread - bought below zero, sold into a four-figure spike - is the whole game. One five-minute interval did the heavy lifting.
The portfolio
One desk, every region
Voltaic dispatches a single portfolio across all five NEM regions at once - charging in the south while discharging up the seaboard, netted and optimised as one book.
“We went from watching five-minute prices on six screens to letting Voltaic dispatch the book. It captures the evening spikes we used to miss and never sleeps through a negative-price window.”
