There is a hybrid to the VPP model using traditional demand response. Customers with solar+battery can respond to DR events by exporting their battery power to the grid using a mode, such as SunPower’s sell to grid. I’ve been doing just that with PG&E and OhmConnect using my Solar+Battery system. I earn watts points that I can trade in for an Amazon gift card or other items. Not as lucrative as some of the VPP benefits, but provides a revenue stream until offered a VPP option by my utility.
