Just remember the charge discharge cycle cost around 5 cent per kWh in wear on the battery.

How much are they paid per kWh?

This new version of the Tesla Virtual Power Plant actually compensates Powerwall owners $2 per kWh that they contribute to the grid during emergency load reduction events. Homeowners are expected to get between $10 and $60 per event.

So even taking into account the cost of degradation the homeowners still make a ~~prophet~~ profit.
