R2,000 per year for plugging your home battery into South Africa’s first virtual power plant

• Households with home batteries connected to Deye inverters can earn up to R2,000 per year by sharing their storage with South Africa's first virtual power plant.
• The virtual power plant will tap into up to 160,000 residential batteries in South Africa, controlled by Deye inverters, and is expected to launch in 2027 after initial pilots later this year.
• The launch of the virtual power plant is expected to have a positive impact on the South African energy market, with potential benefits for households with solar power systems and reduced strain on the grid.
