What does Virtual Power Plant (VPP) mean?

A virtual power plant is a network of distributed energy resources, such as batteries or solar systems, coordinated to provide grid services.

What should installers verify about Virtual Power Plant (VPP) in a solar-plus-storage design?

In solar-plus-storage systems, the term usually affects how PV production, battery charging, backup operation, utility rates, and load behavior interact. Good system design keeps energy flow, power limits, safety equipment, and user priorities aligned.

Practical design considerations

  • Separate energy capacity, power output, backup duration, and load priority; they are related but not interchangeable.

Why this matters for Tigo systems

This term relates to GO Battery (EU) only when current product documentation supports the application.
