Been on the website, read the £1/KWH per event, min of £10 per month etc etc, but what do people actually think?
How many events do you get, do you only lose 1KWN from your battery during the events and any negative impact (Or positive?) Just sounds a bit too good to be true!
It states, you control your battery outside of events, not so worried now, but come winter could be a proble,
Anyway would appreciate your thoughts
Very much so. I've been using them since January I think and already got paid over £70. If you combine it with Predbat, it makes it even easier - everything is handled for you automatically.
Anyway, here's my referral link if you're interested: https://vpp.axle.energy/landing?ref=R-HJSDMMRF
Question is, why haven't you been on it since last year?
Iguana its basically free money for a small bit of use of your inverter and battery to help the grid out
I’ve been on Axle since October last year. It is what it says it is, you get £1/kWh for exporting in an event, and if you don’t earn £10 in a month then its topped up to £10 for that month. Typically 2-3 events a month so depends on your battery type as to whether you’ll always be getting topped up or will export more than 10kWh in the month.
Axle is currently in beta test which was due to finish in March but has been extended. I predict these rates will drop when the beta test is over, but to what, no idea.
The only disadvantage is that if you have a relatively small battery then the axle export could run your battery down and you’ll start grid importing sooner. This certainly happened to me in winter, but at £1/kWh I was still better off even after paying for the grid importing.
There haven’t so far been too many events so the impact of these exports on your battery longevity is minimal.
No real downsides
I took the plunge @geoffreycoan will see how I get on I have 9.5KWH battery and 3KWH inverter, realistically limited to 2.5KWH, so will have to just keep an eye on things in the winter.
I can't get through the sign up as I am on Octo Agile import and export. They are not listed and if I try to add a custom tariff it asks for half hourly rates - which I dont have as they change every day.
