Honest Advice – Who Shouldn’t Sign Up For Amber Electric?

I sit down with Carlos from Amber Electric to discuss which customers aren’t suited for Amber’s wholesale electricity pricing – because it’s better for everyone if you only join when your home setup is ready.

We cover the key household types that might struggle with Amber’s dynamic pricing model. Do you need solar and batteries and an electric car to benefit?

We also discuss technical compatibility issues – particularly for homes with older solar inverters that can’t be controlled remotely.. What happens when wholesale feed-in tariffs go negative, meaning you could end up paying to export your solar power back to the grid if it can’t be automatically set to stop exporting.

The conversation reveals why having the right equipment setup – especially batteries and controllable solar systems – makes such a difference for success with wholesale electricity pricing, and why timing your switch to Amber matters.
