Each one suits a different type of household, so it’s worth knowing the difference before you decide. ### Origin Battery Starter This one’s for homeowners who want a straightforward energy plan without any VPP involvement. You stay in full control of your battery at all times. - 18c/kWh feed-in tariff during peak times - Off-peak feed-in tariff at least 2c above Origin’s standard rates - No caps on your solar or battery exports - Great off-peak usage rates when your battery isn’t powering your home - Available in NSW, SA, VIC and QLD Good for: Homeowners who want a solid feed-in tariff and prefer to keep full control of their battery. ### Origin Battery Lite This is Origin’s entry-level VPP option. Origin only accesses your battery when they can pay you $1 per kWh, so there are no surprise events where you’re left short. - $200 bill credit just for signing up - $1/kWh earned during Loop events - Up to $400 in value in your first year - Keep your existing Origin plan and solar feed-in tariff - Available in NSW, SA, VIC, QLD and ACT Good for: Homeowners who want to earn VPP credits without handing over full control of their battery. ### Origin Battery Maximiser This is the high-performance option. Origin’s smart automation charges your battery when electricity is cheap and exports when feed-in rates are at their best. - 22c/kWh peak feed-in tariff, the best rate across all Origin battery plans - Smart automation manages charging and discharging for you - Origin Loop VPP included at no extra cost - Uncapped exports and earnings - Solar system must be between 5kW and 20kW - Available in NSW, SA, VIC and QLD Good for: Homeowners who want maximum earnings and are happy for Origin to automate their battery management. ## How It Works ![How It Works origin](https://resinc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/How-It-Works-origin.webp) ### Step 1: Choose your plan Talk to RESINC first.

RESINC can confirm compatibility during your free quote and install a Sungrow battery if needed. ### 5. Is Origin Battery Lite available on the Central Coast and Newcastle? Yes.
