Own your own virtual power plant
Sell your excess solar power to your neighbours. Charge your solar battery using sunlight so you can power your home when the sun goes down.
Maintain power – up to 3000 watts – during a blackout keeping critical appliances running without disruption.
Turn your power bill into a paycheck
If you have solar and a solar battery (don’t worry if you don’t have one yet, we can help), you can access a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and benefit from selling your excess solar power during peak demand times – turning your power bill into a pay check.
As electricity demands increase, power shortages are created and grid stability is compromised. That’s where your Virtual Power Plant comes in. By allowing our innovative software to access your solar battery, you’re able to trade your excess solar power, selling it back into the grid for money – at up to 20x more than what you buy power for from your energy retailer.
Smarter
Using innovative VPP technology your solar system, battery and a cloud-based software makes energy trading simple with no extra hardware required
Cheaper
Powered by the solar system and stored in your home battery, smart algorithms determine the optimal time to sell the stored energy back to the grid at premium prices.
Greener
With a strong focus on renewable power your home will be more efficient helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
Get free power to use when the sun goes down
Sometimes, usually during the middle of the day and in negative event market conditions, your battery is able to be recharged for free. If negative power prices are detected on the energy market the intelligent software automatically starts charging your battery at no cost, filling your battery with power that you can use when the sun goes down or in the event of a power outage.
Generous Feed In Tariffs
Most energy retailers offer a low feed in tariff for exported power, sometimes feed-in tariffs are as low as 1c/kWh. Using a Virtual Power Plant, your excess solar is paid out at generous rates per kWh exported.
Which scenario best describes you?
You already have a battery
Already have a solar battery installed? Great news! Provided your battery is one of the brands listed on our approved battery list, simply connect your existing battery to the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and you’re good to go.
You have solar but no battery
Easy! We can install an approved battery that connects to your existing solar. Once you have your new battery installed we’ll help you get connected to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and you’re good to go.
You don’t have solar or a battery
You’re in good hands. We will help you find a battery and solar solution to suit your needs and help you connect it to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) – best of all you can use generous government incentives to help you go solar for no upfront costs, assuming your property is solar ready. More on that later!
What’s a Virtual Power Plant, or VPP?
A virtual power plant or VPP, is a network of solar batteries, installed in homes and businesses, that can be coordinated and managed like a traditional power plant.
Together, the network of solar batteries can be used to stabilise the electricity grid, power neighbouring homes and reduce reliance on traditional coal power.
Virtual Power Plants enable more affordable and sustainable energy – and provide an opportunity for you to make money trading your excess power on the open market.
