frequently asked questions

What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?

A VPP is a network of distributed energy resources—like solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles—that are digitally connected and coordinated to act like a single power plant. They help balance energy supply and demand while supporting the electricity grid.

How does a VPP work?

VPPs use software to monitor, control, and optimise the output and usage of energy devices. For example, your battery might charge during the day using excess solar power, then discharge in the evening when demand is high or when the grid needs support.

Do I need to install special equipment to join a VPP?

At a minimum you will need to have a 6.6 kWh solar system installed, a home battery, smart meter, and a stable WiFi connection. If you would like a free quotation, fill out the form here.

Will I still have power if the grid goes down?

Yes, you will always retain a minimum 20% of your batteries capacity to support your energy usage at home.

How do I benefit from being in a VPP?

You may receive financial rewards, such as bill credits or payments, for allowing your system to support the grid. You can also reduce your energy costs by using your power more efficiently.

Is it safe and secure?

Yes. VPP platforms use encrypted communication and adhere to industry standards to keep your data and devices secure.

How much can I earn from a VPP?

Earnings vary depending on your system’s size, how much energy you can provide, and the specific VPP program.

Can I leave a VPP if I change my mind?

Our plan does come with a contract to ensure stability across the grid. Early Terminations fees apply.

Can I monitor my usage and earnings through the VPP program?

Yes, you will have access to real time insights and earnings by being including in our VPP program.
