What Is a VPP — And Why Should You Care?

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) allows your smart battery system (like Enphase IQ) to dynamically share power the Texas grid. When the grid needs extra help, your battery discharges (shares) some of your stored energy — and you get paid for it –on-top of- whatever your local electric utility pays you for excess solar during the day!

This approach offers an unbeatable battery ROI – while still ensuring perpetually renewable emergency backup power when the Texas grid fails.

Here’s What You Get When You Join

  • 💰 Monthly Bill Credits: Get $20 per month for every 5 kWh of installed Enphase battery capacity.
  • ⚡ Keep Your Backup Power: Your battery never drops below 20% — backup protection always remains.
  • 🌎 Help Stabilize the Texas Grid: Enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to protect your family as well as our fragile Texas grid.

You’re Eligible If…

  • You live in Texas and can choose your energy provider
  • You own an Enphase IQ (or SolarEdge) Battery system

How It Works

When does my battery discharge?

Only during grid stress events — typically 1–3 times per week, for short periods, usually in the late afternoon.

Will I lose backup power?

Never. Enphase ensures your battery won’t dip below 20%, so you always have emergency reserve power.

Can I opt out?

Yes. You can leave the program anytime, but you’ll stop receiving monthly bill credits.

What if I don’t have solar yet?

No problem. NATiVE Solar can design a custom solar + battery system optimized for VPP participation and long-term savings.
