Virtual Power Plant (VPP)
'Goodbye Power Bills, Hello Smart Energy Income'
If you are installing a solar + battery system, adding a battery or already have a solar battery system, you may be able to say goodbye to your power bills and hello to smart energy income by converting your home power to a smart energy solution provided by our VPP partner Discover Energy.
How does VPP smart energy trading work?
A VPP is a de-centralised network of solar-powered, battery-backed homes, which deliver excess energy back into the grid to provide power for other locations. As part of a VPP, the collective excess power of all connected systems can meet a significant amount of electrical demand, leading to greater efficiencies and a higher proportion of renewable energy to the grid. This energy can be sold back to the grid at optimum moments for maximum returns.
​
Our VPP partner Discover Energy(DE) is leading the solar energy revolution with VPP Cloud based software that turns your home into a Virtual Power Plant and Energy Trader!
