Thank you to everyone who submitted their final amounts to the mega-thread, it was very close in the end with only a tiny fraction between the top two!

Flares will be added to all three winners shortly.

Hopefully we will see more of these unique events to have some more friendly competition with!

Any other fun ideas for sub-reddit related events or in general, please discuss below as it's all a bit of fun at the end of the day!

Imagine a hypothetical situation (ahem) where someone scheduled a forced export for an Axle Energy event (which was successful ) but forgot to UNschedule and mistakenly exported the following day when there wasn't an Axle Energy event 😕

Who would benefit? Who "receives" the energy? Does the main meter go in reverse???

I can see the export on my metrics graph, but with no feed in tariff agreement and no Axle Energy event, I fear I simply gave away 6-7kWh 😔

Hello fellow energy maestros.

Has anyone been paid out for the Eclipse event? I have not, and I’ve also been paid out for an event that happened the day after (north west).

I’m wondering if there’s more involved in their backend due to it being a national event, but I’m not sure.

Anyone?

Wanted to do something fun, please use this thread as the place to post all Solar Eclipse Export results as they filter in over the next few days. I am very interested to see what people can achieve over a 2hr window.

• Post your submission as screenshot from your email or from your dashboard. *just make sure to obscure any personal info*

The top three people who have the highest amount of export during the 2hr period will get a unique sub-reddit flair (did you know we have flair options?!) to them to show how much better they are than all of us.

I look forward to seeing the results!

Or does it have to be a Solis battery too? The blurb says it connects to the battery, but that is controlled by the inverter.

Thanks.

I've been trying to find out more about how VPPs work, and getting mostly confused. But I assume that Axle does a lot of their business on NESO's Ancillary and Frequency Response markets: auctions for power (mainly from battery systems) at short notice. What I don't undertand though is that these are all two-way. So why are Axle events only for export - might they also be able to pay for import?

Hello all,

​​Quick question for anyone on Axle in the Yorkshire & Humber. How many events have you had over the last 6 months, and what kind of payouts are you seeing?

​I’m considering picking up a cheap second-hand Solis inverter purely to participate. My plan is to keep it completely isolated from the AC grid side, just wired to a spare battery and connected to Wi-Fi so Axle detects it online. When an event is called, I’d trigger the battery discharge with my Sunsynk&Fogstar setup (32kWh) either manually or automate it via Predbat.

​Before spending money on the extra hardware and setup, I want to calculate the ROI and see if the local event frequency makes it worth the hassle.

​If anyone could share rough event counts, average earnings, or experiences running a secondary setup like this, I’d really appreciate it. Cheers!

My account shows the event at 21:00-22:00

The email I received yesterday shows the event for 20:00-21:00

Anyone else ? And which one will be used for crediting ?
