Automate your ESY Sunhome

SolanIQ forecasts your solar generation and household load, then automatically charges, discharges and exports your ESY Sunhome battery against Amber Electric's 5-minute wholesale market — buying low and selling high to cut your power bill. It fills the gap Amber's SmartShift leaves for ESY Sunhome, and also automates GloBird's ZeroHero plan — free midday charging and the 6–9pm Super Export window. For homes and businesses across Australia — currently in early access.

How SolanIQ Works

Our intelligent platform connects your solar and battery system to real-time energy markets, making smart decisions every 5 minutes to reduce your bills and maximise your investment.

Adaptive Solar Forecasting

Combines satellite imagery, weather data and your own production history to forecast solar output. The system learns over time, refining its models to extract more value from your battery.

Wholesale Market Access

Connect to the 5-minute AEMO wholesale electricity market through compatible retailers like Amber Electric to buy low and sell high — with LocalVolts on the way.

GloBird ZeroHero Support

On GloBird’s ZeroHero plan, SolanIQ charges your battery for free in the midday ZeroCharge window (11am–2pm or 12–3pm, depending on your plan), keeps your home off the grid through the 6–9pm peak, and exports into the 6–9pm Super Export window — automatically, every day.

Maximise Battery Value

Intelligent charge and discharge scheduling ensures your battery works harder—storing cheap energy and exporting when prices peak.

Fills the Amber SmartShift Gap

Amber SmartShift doesn’t support the ESY Sunhome battery. SolanIQ connects your ESY Sunhome to Amber and automates charging, discharging and exporting for you—completely hands-off, no Home Assistant required.

Residential Solutions

Perfect for homeowners with solar and battery systems who want to take control of their energy bills and reduce reliance on the grid.

Commercial & Industrial

Scale up for businesses with larger energy needs. Optimise multiple sites, manage demand charges, and integrate with existing BMS systems.

Solar Curtailment
On the roadmap

Direct solar inverter integration to automatically curtail generation when wholesale feed-in prices go negative — so you never pay to export your own solar.

EV Charging
On the roadmap

Smart EV charger integration that lines up your car with excess solar, free-power windows and cheap wholesale prices — charging your EV for as little as possible.

Frequently asked questions

How SolanIQ optimises an ESY Sunhome battery on Amber Electric.

No. Amber's SmartShift doesn't currently support the ESY Sunhome battery, so you can’t use Amber’s built-in automation to trade an ESY Sunhome on the wholesale market. SolanIQ was built to fill exactly that gap: it connects to your ESY Sunhome battery and your Amber Electric account and automates charging, discharging and exporting against Amber’s 5-minute wholesale prices.

Sign up for SolanIQ and connect your ESY Sunhome battery and your Amber Electric account. SolanIQ forecasts your solar generation and household load, then automatically charges the battery when wholesale prices are low and discharges or exports it when prices are high — buying low and selling high every 5 minutes, with no manual intervention.

No. SolanIQ is a hosted cloud service that connects directly to your ESY Sunhome battery and your Amber account. You don’t need Home Assistant, a local server, or any custom hardware to run it.

Not yet. SolanIQ optimises your battery — when it charges, discharges and exports — against wholesale prices. It does not currently control household loads such as hot water systems or pool pumps, but EV charger integration is on the roadmap.

Coming up: solar inverter integration to automatically curtail your solar when wholesale feed-in prices go negative, smart EV charger integration that charges your car from excess solar and cheap wholesale windows, support for more battery brands beyond ESY Sunhome, and more wholesale retailers such as LocalVolts.

SolanIQ currently supports ESY Sunhome batteries on Amber Electric and GloBird’s ZeroHero plan, and is in early access. Support for more battery brands and wholesale retailers (such as LocalVolts) is on the way.

Yes. On GloBird’s ZeroHero plan, SolanIQ automatically charges your battery for free during the midday ZeroCharge window (11am–2pm or 12–3pm, depending on your plan), runs your home from the battery through the 6–9pm evening peak so you import next to nothing from the grid, and exports surplus energy into the 6–9pm Super Export feed-in window — hands-off, every day.

Yes. The SolanIQ app for iOS and Android shows your live solar, battery and grid power flows, battery state of charge and the optimiser’s plan, and sends push notifications. Download it from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with your SolanIQ account.
