Real experiences from Axle customers
“Axle VPP really complements my Fox ESS solar and battery system, providing an extra source of revenue for my exported electricity. … Highly recommended!”
Steve, GranthamFox ESS owner
“Axle VPP has been a solid source of revenue for me helping reduce my ROI to around 3 years on a £12k installation. A simple sign up process and great communication around events make it easy on the end user.”
Dave, DaventryFox ESS owner“Axle has been a fantastic way to get even more value from my home solar and battery storage system. The events are simple to participate in, the financial rewards are genuinely impressive, and it's incredibly satisfying to know that I'm being generously rewarded for helping support the wider electricity grid. It's a win-win for homeowners and the energy network alike!”
David, TelfordSolis owner
“Axle Energy was very easy to sign up for when a friend sent me a reference code. Easy options to choose from during set up. Great communication via email of an upcoming event (within 24hrs). No issues at all during the export when Axle take control for the hour of the event and payment within a couple of days. Fab company, thank you!”
Simon, BarryEcoFlow owner

Matt, Appleby MagnaSigenergy owner
“Axle has been a game changer for me. Where else can you get paid £1 per kWh during grid events. A guaranteed £10 per month. And you don't even need to change supplier! … Keep up the great work Axle team.”
Ian, LancashireSolaX owner
“I've been hugely impressed with Axle. They take care of all the settings and it really works, and the money is in your account within minutes of requesting a transfer.”
Paul, Hebden BridgeSolarEdge owner
“Axle Energy is absolutely brilliant. … Axle let me know at least 24 hours before the event. They then automate everything for exporting and reset the inverter when exporting has finished. … I've been with Axle Energy since March 2026 and in the 8 months since then earned £360! … The payment goes straight into my bank account within minutes. I can thoroughly recommend Axle Energy.”
