Preserve your solar wisely
We aim to use your solar generation at the right time, store it when it is valuable, and avoid wasting battery capacity when better opportunities may be ahead.
Solar + Battery customers · Smarter bill optimisation
Spent thousands on a battery…
but still seeing electricity bills?
Your solar is generating. Your battery is storing. But is it actually working at the right time to save you money?
Most systems run on basic settings — charging and discharging without considering price, demand, or timing. That means you could be missing the moments that actually reduce your bill or create value.
Think of it as a smart layer on top of your battery. It watches prices, demand, solar output and your usage — then decides when to charge, hold, or discharge to target better value, with built-in safeguards to reduce exposure during high-price periods.
✓ Not an energy retailer
✓ Optimisation layer (VPP technology)
✓ Works best with dynamic pricing (Flow Power / Amber style)
Your home can become part of a smarter energy network

What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)? And why your home can be one.
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) connects many individual home batteries and solar systems and coordinates them like a single power station. Instead of one big generator, it uses thousands of small systems working together.
If you have solar panels and a decent-sized battery, your home already has everything needed to act like a small energy asset. With the right intelligence, your battery can respond to market conditions — charging, storing, and discharging at better times.
Your battery should do more than just sit in self-use mode.
Many home batteries are installed and left on default settings. That can help, but it often does not respond to fast-changing electricity prices, peak demand, stronger feed-in periods, or your changing household usage pattern.
🔋
Charge when it makes sense
Your battery can be charged from solar or cheaper grid periods when the tariff and market conditions make it suitable for your home.
📈
Discharge during higher value windows
When demand is high and prices or export value are stronger, your battery may help reduce imports or support better feed-in outcomes.
Wholesale prices can move every 5 minutes. Your battery timing matters.
In the Australian wholesale electricity market, prices can rise and fall throughout the day depending on demand, supply, weather, network conditions, and market events. A simple fixed battery schedule can miss these opportunities.
Our platform looks for better timing decisions: when to charge low, when to hold energy, and when discharging high may reduce your bill or improve export value.

How we make your battery smarter
We are a technology company that understands the wholesale energy market. We are a technology optimisation layer that works on top of your energy setup. We optimise your battery based on your site, your usage pattern, and your tariff setup.
Important: We are not an energy retailer. VPP AI is an optimisation layer that works particularly well with dynamic-pricing retailers such as Flow Power or Amber-style products — provided you understand price volatility and your site is suitable for protected battery dispatch.
1
Understand your site
We review your solar generation, household usage pattern, battery size, inverter capability, and current tariff.
2
Build a customer-specific profile
We learn when your home normally uses energy, when your solar produces most, and how your battery behaves across the day and seasons.
3
Optimise charge and discharge
Our models use weather, solar forecasts, battery state, and market signals to decide when charging, holding, or discharging makes sense.
4
Apply safety controls
Reserve buffers, conservative dispatch, and price-spike protection are used so the system is focused on bill optimisation, not reckless trading.
Built for dynamic pricing environments
VPP AI is designed to perform best in environments where electricity prices change throughout the day. Dynamic or wholesale-linked pricing plans create more opportunity for smart battery timing decisions.
Our optimisation layer works particularly well with dynamic-pricing retailers such as Flow Power or Amber-style products — where price volatility exists, and battery control can be used to manage both opportunity and risk.

⚡
Dynamic pricing advantage
When electricity prices fluctuate, timing becomes critical. Our system helps your battery respond to these movements.
⚙️
Technology-driven control
We use market data, forecasts, and your usage patterns to make smarter battery decisions specific to your home.
💳
Real outcomes in current market
In the current market, some customers have not only reduced their bills but have also started seeing credits. Results depend on your setup and market conditions.
Is your home suitable for smart battery optimisation?
Not every setup is the same. We typically see the best results when the below conditions are met. If you tick most of these, your home is likely a strong candidate.
🔋
Battery size
Ideally 10 kWh+ usable capacity. Larger batteries provide more flexibility to charge low and discharge at better times.
☀️
Solar generation
Consistent solar production during the day helps maximise charging opportunities and reduce reliance on grid imports.
⚡
Inverter compatibility
Your inverter and battery system should support external control or scheduling. Most modern systems are compatible.
📊
Usage pattern
Homes with clear daily usage patterns benefit most, as we can better predict when energy is needed vs when to store or export.
💹
Tariff type
Dynamic or time-sensitive pricing (e.g. wholesale-linked or high peak FiT plans) unlocks more value from smart timing decisions.
🛡️
Risk awareness
You understand that electricity prices can fluctuate. Our system protects against extremes, but optimisation works best when customers are comfortable with controlled market exposure.
Example: how smart timing can change your bill
This is a simplified illustration based on typical dynamic pricing behaviour. Actual results vary based on your battery size, usage, solar generation, tariff, and market conditions.
⬇️
Charge during low-price periods
Battery charges overnight or during low-demand windows when wholesale prices are lower.
⚡
Use or export during peak
Battery discharges during evening peaks to avoid high import costs or capture stronger export value.
💰
Net impact
Lower import costs + better-timed exports may reduce bills — and in some cases, result in credits.
