What you'll need to join Axle

Three things, all checked during sign-up.

  • A compatible inverter

    From one of the brands above, with any battery attached. During sign-up you'll log in to the brand's app or portal so Axle can connect to it.

  • A working smart meter

    We use it to measure how much your battery exports during events, which is what you're paid for. We'll check we can read it when you sign up.

  • An electricity bill from the last 3 months

    To confirm your address and meter. Upload a photo or PDF during sign-up.

How Axle's VPP works

Axle links thousands of home batteries into one virtual power plant. When the grid needs power, they export together and you get paid.

1

Connect your battery

Sign up with a recent electricity bill and link the app or portal your inverter already reports to. Under 5 minutes, nothing to install.

2

Export during grid events

A few times a month your home battery exports for an hour or two when the grid needs it. We tell you the day before, and you can opt out of any event.

You get paid

£1 for every kWh exported and at least £10 a month, credited to your Axle balance to withdraw whenever you like.
