Maximizing Battery Savings with Amber Electric’s Smart Shift

Maximizing Battery Savings with Amber Electric’s Smart Shift

Amber Electric’s Smart Shift is revolutionising how homeowners use their solar batteries by enabling them to take full advantage of wholesale electricity prices. This innovative feature helps optimize the charging and discharging of batteries, significantly reducing the payback period for solar and battery systems.

How Smart Shift Works

Smart Shift leverages real-time data to automatically manage when your battery charges and discharges based on market prices. When prices are low, typically during the middle of the day when solar production is high, Smart Shift ensures your battery is charged. When prices spike, usually in the evening, the system discharges stored energy to power your home, minimising reliance on expensive grid electricity.

Reducing Payback Period

The primary benefit of Smart Shift is the acceleration of the payback period for your solar and battery investment. By capitalising on wholesale price fluctuations, homeowners can see a significant reduction in their electricity bills, which in turn shortens the time it takes to recoup the cost of their solar and battery systems.

Amber’s Smart Shift is particularly beneficial for those who have larger solar systems or high electricity usage patterns in the evening. By strategically managing energy use and storage, homeowners can maximise their savings, making solar and battery systems not just environmentally friendly, but also financially savvy investments.

A Smarter Way to Save

For tech-savvy homeowners who are comfortable with the variability of wholesale electricity prices, Amber Electric’s Smart Shift offers a unique opportunity to enhance the value of their solar and battery systems. It’s an intelligent, automated way to ensure you’re getting the most out of your investment, helping to reduce energy costs and contribute to a more sustainable future.

If you’re looking to get the most out of your solar battery system and reduce your energy costs, Amber Electric’s Smart Shift could be the perfect solution.
