TL;DR - SENSATIONAL!
TL;DR: sensational so far! I just joined, but I'm SO happy so far even though I haven't received my first bill. I have 14kw on my roof and 2 x Tesla batteries and was still getting bills well over $3k per quarter from a major retailer. I had called them about the bill and they made some verbal recommendations, talked about peak, shoulder, off peak rates that change over summer, winter, spring... let's just say I felt they were talking about how they wanted to manage their system and didn't care about what I wanted/needed. Also, I don't have the time to manage this, I needed automation - it is the 21st Century! I signed up to Amber via their email to me (had never heard of them before) and I thought "I really can't lose".. It moved over seamlessly - one day I was on the old retailer and one day on Amber. I loved the hourly detail on prices, but I was nervous so I managed it manually, putting my system on "off-grid" at peak to save on 50c+ hourly rates. I got it down SIGNIFICANTLY. Then I saw prices as low as 5c a hour so I said, "stuff it" and just let them manage it for me - it dropped even further! Now it shows I've used $233 for the last 30 days which would put a quarterly bill at around $699 for a quarter - that's a savings of $10,000 per year! To put it in perspective, when I bought my Tesla batteries they were $10k each. That's a 100% return of my investment/cost of batteries within two years! I'll leave another review after my first bill, but at this stage, sensational!
