Take Back Your Power From Your Energy Company
With Amber, you choose what to do with your solar and battery, giving you more control and more value. After all, we’re guessing you didn’t get a solar and battery system just to give your energy company all the power, right?
CBR and Amber’s New Partnership will Empower Battery Owners with Innovative Energy Solutions
We are excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership between CBR and Amber Energy, two industry leaders in energy management and sustainability. This collaboration will provide battery owners with enhanced opportunities to optimise their energy use, earn additional income, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
As part of this new partnership, Amber will offer CBR battery owners access to their smart energy platform, designed to maximise the value of energy storage systems, and actually make them profitable.
You’re probably thinking Amber is just another Virtual Power Plant (VPP) provider, selling your stored energy to the grid when they think it’s appropriate. However, this isn’t the case. Amber allows you full control of where your energy goes (home, battery, grid, EV), at what time of day, and at what price if you’re choosing to sell to the grid. Of course, you can direct the Amber app to automatically make the best decisions for you, BUT it’s always within your control!
Boost Your Battery with Personalised Optimisation
A Plan Created just for You!
Amber’s SmartShift technology looks at your energy usage, your solar generation and the wholosale electricity prices available from the grid via the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). SmartShift then determines how to get you the most value for your solar while keeping your battery topped up with cheap, green energy.
Maximise Value with Wholesale Feed-In Tariffs
Get the best Feed-In Tariff (FiT): Big energy companies earn a wholesale FiT when they sell power into the energy market. Now you can get paid the same.
Top up with cheap, green energy: Keep your battery ready for anything by keeping it topped up from the grid when prices are low.
Take Charge with Smart Controls
Charge, Export or Preserve Your Battery
Direct your battery to work how you want. Make choices manually or set up automations to do the decision-making for you. See everything that matters, including your battery’s live plan, usage, costs and impact.
Select from 2 Automation Modes
Auto-Trading: This mode automatically buys energy when prices are low and sells it when prices are high. Amber's AI-driven algorithms make real-time decisions, maximising your potential profits by responding to market price fluctuations.
Smart Charging: In this mode, Amber manages the charging of your battery, ensuring it’s charged at the most cost-effective times. It prioritises charging during off-peak hours when electricity prices are low, helping you store energy efficiently for later use or resale.
Make Sure Amber is Right for your Setup and Circumstances
Amber-compatible Batteries
Amber has a range of batteries that are currently compatible with their technology, with further brands to come. The good news is that our premium offerings from Tesla and SolarEdge are a perfect fit with Amber. Our third brand, Goodwe, will also be compatible by the end of 2024.
Other Considerations
If you speak with one of our expert consultants about a new solar and battery system, you can discuss the options that are compatible with Amber. The consultant will also determine whether your home’s physical energy setup will work wth Amber.
if you have an existing solar system and want to add a battery, there are technical matters that must be evaluated before implementing Amber. We can do an assessment and provide accurate advice.
