Solar is just the beginning.
If youβve got panels, adding a battery can help you use more of your own power, protect against price spikes, and even turn your energy into income.
Here's why a battery is the next smart step: www.amber.com.au/blog/why-sol...
My wife asked for an update on how our solar system and @amberelectric.bsky.social account were doing.
I explained that we had consumed 20.5MWh of electricity over the last 18 months for a net usage cost of -$140. That is, we were paid $140.
Thatβs nice! ππ
Best night yet with @amberelectric.bsky.social emptying a full battery into the grid for some amazing feed-in tariffs, probably due to the lack of wind in South Australia.

Hereβs how Amberβs approach puts control, transparency and value back in the hands of battery owners - without the usual trade-offs.

Batteries arenβt just storing solar for later.
Theyβre cutting bills, easing demand peaks, and helping the grid handle more renewables.
The energy transition is happening behind household meters.

Why thereβs never been a better time to buy a battery:
βοΈ New federal rebates
βοΈ Smarter optimisation tech
βοΈ Faster payback
βοΈ More control over your energy

Heard about home batteries but not really sure what they do, how much they cost, or how to get started?
If you're curious but have no idea where to begin, start here: www.amber.com.au/blog/batteri...
Small batteries can help you save. But bigger batteries? They can help you earn.
With the federal rebate on the way, itβs worth thinking long-term.
More storage = more control, more coverage, and more value.
