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.

What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)? And why your home can be one.

A Virtual Power Plant connects many individual home batteries and solar systems and coordinates them like a single power station. If you have solar panels and a decent-sized battery, your home already has the hardware to act like a small energy asset.

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.

🔋

Charge when it makes sense

Your battery can be charged from solar or cheaper grid periods when 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 optimisation layer that understands the wholesale energy market. 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 tariff.

2

Build a customer-specific profile

We learn when your home uses energy, when solar produces most, and how your battery behaves.

3

Optimise charge and discharge

Our models decide when charging, holding, or discharging makes sense for your site.

4

Apply safety controls

Reserve buffers, conservative dispatch, and price-spike protection keep the system protection-focused.

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

Some customers have reduced their bills and some have started seeing credits. Results depend on setup and market conditions.

Is your home suitable for smart battery optimisation?

We typically see the best results when the below conditions are met.

🔋

Battery size

Ideally 10 kWh+ usable capacity. Larger batteries provide more flexibility to charge low and discharge at better times.

☀️

Solar generation

Consistent daytime solar helps maximise charging opportunities and reduce reliance on grid imports.

Inverter compatibility

Your inverter and battery system should support external control or scheduling.

📊

Usage pattern

Homes with clear daily usage patterns benefit most, as we can better predict when energy is needed.

💹

Tariff type

Dynamic or time-sensitive pricing unlocks more value from smart timing decisions.

🛡️

Risk awareness

Dynamic pricing can be volatile. We use safeguards, but customers must understand controlled market exposure.
