It also integrates with home solar systems, batteries, and electric vehicles, allowing users to automate energy consumption, storage, and export decisions to optimize cost outcomes and energy efficiency.Amber develops software tools and automation systems that support dynamic energy management, including smart scheduling features and integration with connected home energy devices. These tools are designed to help customers shift energy-intensive activities and battery charging to periods of lower wholesale prices and higher renewable energy availability.
