Amber's SmartShift App on a smartphone

SmartShift™ is Amber’s newest technology, designed to accelerate our transition to 100% renewables by automating your home battery and other devices.

Amber is an energy provider that offers Aussies like you a cheaper and greener way to power your home.

Diagram of price compare to the time of day. Amber's SmartShift technology can automatically discharge your home battery when the wholesale price is expensive.

SmartShift™ automatically optimises your home battery to deliver big savings in two key ways:

1

It minimises your everyday electricity costs by charging your battery when wholesale prices are negative and renewables are generating.

2

It maximises the value of your exported energy by discharging your battery when wholesale prices are at their highest.

Need to know more?

We've put together some handy links below to help you learn more about how Amber's SmartShift™ Beta works. If you can't find what you're looking for on our website please get in touch.

Do I need to be an Amber customer to be part of the SmartShift™ Beta?

Yes, you do. That's because SmartShift™ is only possible if you're paying Amber's varying wholesale power prices, which allow you to save by using power at cheaper and greener times. To participate in the SmartShift™ Beta program we'll ask you to switch to Amber for a minimum commitment of 12 months. This helps us make sure we have enough time to get you up and running and get data on your results.

How does SmartShift™ optimise home batteries?

Supported home batteries can connect to the SmartShift™ algorithm remotely, so there's no need for a physical device. SmartShift™ optimises batteries to discharge at times when the wholesale price is more expensive than usual, lowering the overall cost of your energy usage. That's because you'll be using power from the grid at times when energy is cheaper and greener, and using power from your battery at times when energy is more expensive. You'll be able to see how SmartShift™ is optimising your battery, and how much it's saving you, using the Amber app.
