hello
I am in the trial of the Axle Energy VPP.
It seems since signing up I’ve been changed to Feed in priority but when I tried to change to self use as a test to see if I can still do this it says:
Unsupported Function Code
So I can’t change this work mode.
Is this normal for VPP setups?
Should I be able to change it?
I also noticed my overnight battery grid charge schedule was gone, but aubergine changing to Feed in removes that?
in general, VPP systems will want to take complete control, and if you adjust something it'll switch it back. I don't know about this particular scheme but it seems likely to be the same. Same goes for any overnight schedule you've got set up, it'll want to do everything itself.Is this normal for VPP setups?
Some systems let you turn off automatic control for a period, and go to manual control. Again, no idea if this is the case for Axle.
So this morning, by 6am my battery was only at 50%, the VPP had done some charging at 0030-0230 then again 0430-0500.
It had imported 8kwh and exported 2kwh.
I guess the AI model looked at my usage and the solar prediction to come up with what i needed.
I did have to manually switch off feed in (which was set until 5pm), I only had 30% battery, which would not have lasted what with dinner and general base loads!
The support seem very quick and are making changes to the charge window. So I will see what it is like tomorrow.
There is a Free energy session this evening and tomorrow afternoon which Axle do not support so they say i need to carry on force charging at these times.

If it helps, they've set up a whatsapp group here as a forum for customers:
