Is Voltello compatible with my existing battery?

Most batteries are configured to charge when there is surplus solar, i.e. when energy is being exported to the grid. When the Voltello link device activates export control (when we limit exports) we maintain a small level of exports (0.05 kW) to ensure the battery sees surplus solar and charges. As the charging rate increases, we also increase the solar production to meet the needs of the battery while never exporting more than 0.05 kW.

Solar for Amber users can set this to a custom amount in the Plan Preferences: What are the Advanced Options in Solar for Amber?

Update: We've added Sonnen & Fronius battery compatibility and are keen to hear your feedback on our new Battery for Amber plan! Submit a ticket or send us an email if you would like to try this new plan & functionality.
