This energy can then be stored for later use, such as when energy prices are high and it isn’t economical to import it.Social Energy is the first platform to use National Grid’s dynamic frequency response service.How Grid Trading Provides New OpportunitiesTrading energy through the Social Energy network, which uses a grid-sharing model, provides customers with plenty of unique opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise get.Completely Cutting Out Fossil FuelsFor instance, with PV solar panels, an approved solar battery and a connection to the network, it’s possible to rely only on clean, renewable energy and cut out fossil fuels.Future-Proofing Against Unpredictable Energy CostsAnd because the big energy companies are cut out, a Social Energy connection future-proofs homes against unpredictable — and possible rising — energy costs over the long-term.Protected Against Power CutsThe storage capacity of solar batteries also provides a guarantee should there be power cuts in the local grid network, whereas other non-connected homes will likely suffer blackouts.Approved BatteriesSocial Energy works in conjunction with Duracell Home Energy Storage and utilises domestic 3.3kw batteries — the only storage batteries that work on the network’s virtual power plantSmartphone AppThe Social Energy smartphone app provides complete control from the palm of your hands from anywhere in the world.
