How the Axle VPP works with your SolarEdge battery
Axle links thousands of home batteries into one virtual power plant. When the grid needs power, they export together and you get paid.

Export during grid events
You get paid
How much can you earn from a SolarEdge battery?
We pay £1/kWh for every unit your SolarEdge battery exports during a grid event, and at least £10 a month even when the grid is quiet.
Events depend on grid conditions in your area, so earnings vary month to month. Payments stack on top of any export tariff you already have.
Millions paid out to battery owners
Here's what a few of them say.
SolarEdge owner“I love being part of Axle! It's great to help balance the grid and reduce the need to fire up dirty power stations when demand is high, and getting paid for doing it is a very nice bonus! The whole experience has been excellent too: payments are quick and straightforward, the website is easy to use, and whenever I've needed help their customer support team has been fast and helpful.”
SolarEdge owner“Trouble free with SolarEdge kit and doesn't interfere with our octopus cosy tariff. We've had a good number of events in our area usually earning us around £15 - £20 a month. We joined this June, I imagine there will be slim months but they guarantee £10 a month anyway. If you have solar and a battery then I would highly recommend. We have a 10kw battery and 5kw inverter.”
SolarEdge owner“I'm impressed by Axle VPP. Signing up was easy and their software works well for me, integrating seamlessly with my Solaredge battery and inverter. It "just works". … The earnings aren't huge, they seem to be working out at between £10 and £20 per month. But when combined with my existing export payments (Axle's supplement these) I think my net electricity bill this year will be near enough zero.”
