There is a standout in our opinion and that is Amber Electric.

Amber Electric: Offers a VPP program that provides real-time wholesale electricity pricing, allowing customers to optimize energy usage and storage.

We believe DEYE inverters have one of the best offerings for quality, and value for money.
Amber partners with Evergen, who lists compatible inverters Evergen – DEYE

Q. What does this mean?
A. It means if you install a Deye inverter from the list provided such as the single phase SUN-10K-SG01LP1-AU or SUN-10K-SG02LP1-AU  (Low Voltage Battery) This inverter ticks all the right boxes for a large number of Aussie households.

You can connect any compatible CEC Approved Battery and join Amber or any other VPP that supports the DEYE inverter.

Whats the Catch?
At this time, only some of Australia’s energy networks and retailers support VPP.
