Solar & Battery Solutions for NSW Homes

If you already have solar panels, you’re halfway there. But here’s the thing: sending excess solar power back to the grid for a small feed-in tariff just isn’t cutting it anymore. You can do better. That’s where a solar battery comes in.

With a solar battery, you’re in control. Store the energy your panels generate during the day and use it when you need it most—like at night or during those pricey peak times. You’ll use less from the grid, which means lower bills and more predictability. Plus, with the weather doing its own thing lately, having power during a blackout gives you peace of mind.

Think of it this way: you wouldn’t give away something valuable for less than it’s worth, right? So why send your excess energy to the grid for pennies? With a solar battery, you store your own energy and use it when it suits you. That means you’re getting more out of the energy your system produces.

We’re moving towards an all-electric future, whether it’s electric vehicles (EVs), induction cooktops, or electric heat pumps. The shift is happening quickly, and that means our homes are using more power than ever before.

As homes transition away from gas, we’re using more electricity for things like induction cooktops and electric heat pumps. These appliances can take a chunk out of your budget, but with a solar battery, you’re using free power to run them—day or night.

Our advanced Fronius inverters and BYD battery combinations now provide wholesale energy trading with Amber Energy’s Smart Shift, where you keep 100% of the earnings.

This is a huge breakthrough compared to any other Virtual Power Plant offering.

Take advantage of the NSW government battery rebate from the 1^st Nov and get up to $2400 off, and also earn thousands by being part of the solution when the grid needs you.

Better Volt, based in Dorrigo NSW partners with Amber Electric to help homeowners take full advantage of Amber’s smart energy features, turning their solar batteries into both a cost-saving tool and a money-making opportunity.

With Better Volt’s support from Coffs Harbour to Bellingen, NSW,  customers can seamlessly tap into Amber’s SmartShift™ technology, which monitors real-time electricity prices, household energy usage, and solar generation every five minutes to ensure the battery operates at peak efficiency.

During sunny days, the battery elements of your solar PV system store excess solar power in the battery. When electricity prices on the grid are low—sometimes even negative—Better Volt ensures the battery charges automatically from the grid.

This strategy allows homeowners to save by storing cheaper or free energy in their BYD battery.  Later, when grid prices rise during peak hours, the battery powers the home, reducing reliance on expensive grid electricity.

If there’s extra energy still available, Better Volt can help customers export it back to the grid, where they can earn a feed-in tariff, which can go as high as $19 per kilowatt-hour​ in times of high grid demand.
