Frequently Asked Questions

In preparation for events, we will take care of optimizing your battery, so you will not have to worry about it.

- 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.
