Can you really achieve FREE EV charging and zero electricity bills in Australia with solar and a home battery? In this episode of Electro Revolution, Michael shares his full real-world comparison between Amber Electric and GloBird Energy after testing both providers with the exact same setup: ⚡ 12.1kW solar system ⚡ 32kWh Sigenergy home battery ⚡ Two EVs (BYD Atto 3 & BYD Seal) ⚡ Home Assistant automation ⚡ Smart energy scheduling ⚡ Heavy household electricity usage After experiencing wholesale pricing, demand charges, and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) management with Amber Electric, Michael explains why GloBird’s Zero Hero plan ended up working far better for his household. This video covers: • Real electricity bills in Australia • GloBird Zero Hero explained • Amber Electric wholesale pricing explained • Free EV charging windows • Home battery charging strategies • Solar export optimization • Home Assistant energy automation • Peak demand avoidance credits • Smart EV charging schedules • Feed-in tariffs explained • How to automate your solar & battery setup • Predictable vs wholesale electricity pricing • Managing energy usage with Home Assistant Michael also discusses how he automated: ✅ EV charging ✅ Battery charging & discharging ✅ Solar exports ✅ Peak avoidance scheduling ✅ Household appliance automation One of the biggest takeaways from this experiment was predictability. Instead of constantly monitoring wholesale electricity prices, GloBird’s fixed free-energy periods and export bonuses allowed the entire system to become largely “set and forget.” The video also explores: ⚡ Why large home batteries change energy provider options ⚡ How free daytime charging windows can dramatically reduce costs ⚡ Why automation matters for EV and solar households ⚡ How credits can offset gas bills ⚡ Whether wholesale pricing models still make sense in a stabilizing grid Michael also shares insights into: • Home Assistant integrations • BYD vehicle tracking • Sigenergy AI and automation • Solar production management • Real EV charging costs If you're researching: • Best electricity plans for EV owners • Solar battery electricity providers • Amber Electric vs GloBird • Home Assistant energy automation • EV charging at home in Australia • Zero electricity bill strategies …this detailed Australian case study may help you decide which setup works best for your household.
