Get Paid to Save the Day.

National Grid ESO is incentivising customers to reduce their electricity usage and help maintain a more stable grid during 2023 winter season. SolarEdge Home battery owners can uniquely share their battery storage to achieve the highest levels of reduction without the burden of changing their behavior. Eligible system owners with export MPAN (export meter) could even earn higher incentives by exporting electricity to the grid. By participating, system owners earn rewards, while using renewable energy to help keep the nation’s electricity stable.

To participate in this special programme, you need to meet the following criteria:

1. You are SolarEdge system owner, with SolarEdge Home battery
2. Your system is in Great Britain.
3. You have a smart metering system. If you have an import MPAN, during an event you will be able to discharge the battery to the amount of the house load. If you also have an export MPAN, during an event you will be able to discharge at the maximum power of the battery and earn higher rewards.
4. You are not registered under another Demand Flexibility Service provider

If you still don’t have a SolarEdge battery, ask your installer about our new SolarEdge home solutions today.

Peak events can occur until end of March 2023. Events are most likely to occur in weekdays between 16:00-21:00, and each event can last between 30 minutes to 4 hours.

Events are usually scheduled a day in advance. As soon as the event will be scheduled, we will send you an email with the event details. You will have the option to opt-out from an individual event you don’t want to participate in.

In preparation for events, we will take care of optimizing your battery, so you will not have to worry about it. In the hours before the DFS event starts we will charge your battery from PV and if needed from the grid. We will also disable battery discharges few hours prior to the DFS events to make sure your battery is optimized for participating in the event maximizing your contribution to the grid when most needed and your rewards.

• SolarEdge will reimburse you at least £2.50 per kWh of demand reduction or energy export versus a calculated baseline during Demand Flexibility events.
• If you are an eligible system owner with an verified export MPAN, your battery can discharge up to 9.7 kWh per event at a maximum power of 5 kW.
• If you are an eligible system owner without an export MPAN, your battery can discharge up to your consumption level during the event.
• For example, a SolarEdge Home Battery with an export MPAN can earn on a 2-hour event up to 9.7 kWh x £2.50 = £24.25.

The total amount of your incentives will be paid via an Amazon eGift Voucher sent to your email by June 2023 for all winter events you participated in by 31/03/2023.

If you are eligible to participate, submit your application by clicking Join the Programme and following prompts on the registration page.

If you are already registered with another provider of National Grid ESO Demand Flexibility Service you must deregister before you register with our service. If you will be registered under multiple providers you might be disqualified from any participation. If you're not sure whether you are registered we suggest you verify this before registring with our service. 

Your MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number, also called Supply Number) is a 13-digits number that can be found on your electricity bill, or on your In-Home Display menu. It will help us uniquely identify your meter for this service. 

We will also need for verification the last 4 digits of your In-Home Display device number (GUID), which can be found on the back or the bottom of your In-Home Display device

Registration is open until 19/02/23. The sooner you’ll register the more potential events you’ll have to help the grid and earn money.

No, you can participate only after registering, so the sooner you register, the more you can earn.

This first phase of the National Grid ESO program ends on 31/03/2023.

You can either decide to opt-out from individual events (we’ll send you email notification as the events are scheduled). You can also ask to be removed completely from the programme by providing a written request to DFS_support@solaredge.com (please allow us up to 15 days to process).
