AlphaESS

AlphaESS SMILE shifts your solar generation to when it actually saves you money, rather than exporting it for a few cents a kilowatt-hour:

• Stores surplus daytime solar for use in the evening, when grid electricity is at its most expensive
• Time-of-use charging draws cheap off-peak grid power when needed, then discharges it during peak tariff periods
• VPP-ready and compatible with providers including Origin, EnergyAustralia, Amber and Globird, so your battery can earn you money as well as save it
• Very Fast FCAS capability opens up additional grid-service revenue most home batteries can't access
• CEC-approved and eligible for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program

Your solar panels generate the same power they always did, but a lot more of it now goes towards your bill instead of the grid's.

A power outage doesn't need to mean a cold fridge and a dead phone:

• UPS-style backup with under 20 millisecond switchover keeps fridges, lighting, internet and medical devices running through an outage
• Built-in changeover switch means your backup circuits stay active even if the inverter itself fails
• Black start capability lets the system restart itself from a flat battery, without needing grid power first
• 150% overload capacity for 30 seconds handles the surge from appliances like air conditioners and pumps starting up
• IP65-rated enclosure suits both indoor and outdoor installation across Australian conditions

When the grid goes down, your home keeps running, without you noticing the switch happen.

Pairing AlphaESS SMILE with your solar array means far less of your generation goes to waste:

• 200% PV oversizing lets you install more panels than the inverter's rated output, capturing more generation on overcast days
• Hybrid, AC and DC coupling options suit both new solar installs and retrofits to an existing system
• 96 to 100% depth of discharge across the range means you use nearly all the capacity you're paying for
• Up to 97.3% inverter efficiency keeps conversion losses to a minimum
• AlphaCloud monitoring shows exactly how much of your daily use is being covered by stored solar

Your solar array keeps generating exactly as it always has, but now the power actually gets used where it matters most, in your own home.

AlphaESS SMILE's modular design means today's system doesn't have to be your last:

• Add battery modules as your household grows, without replacing the unit you already have
• SMILE-G3-S5 expands from 10.1kWh up to 60.5kWh; the stackable SMILE-M5 range adds plug-and-play modules with no manual wiring
• SMILE-EVC11 EV charger integration lets you charge your car straight from stored solar
• Three-phase SMILE-G3 options scale up to 111.6kWh for larger homes and growing energy needs
• Our accredited installers handle every upgrade, from the initial install through to future expansions

Your system grows alongside your household, on your timeline, not one fixed at installation.

We profile your site's load data before specifying an AlphaESS system - so the capacity and discharge schedule are built around what will actually reduce your bills:

• Discharges during peak demand windows to reduce the demand charge spikes that typically represent the largest component of commercial electricity bills
• Modular sizing means the system is matched to your actual load profile - not over-specified or delivering a weaker payback than projected
• Storion T30, T50 and T100 systems cover a wide range of commercial output requirements, with multiple units clustered for higher-demand sites
• AC-coupled and hybrid-coupled options suit both new installations and retrofits to existing solar infrastructure
• Remote monitoring via AlphaCloud tracks performance and savings, accessible to facility managers from desktop or mobile

Your demand charges reduce on a schedule built around your actual site data, and Off The Grid keeps the system optimised as your operations evolve. See our full commercial solar battery offering.

AlphaESS Storion systems include UPS-class backup with the power output and overload capability that commercial operations actually need:

• UPS-grade automatic switchover protects servers, production lines, refrigeration, pumps and safety systems during grid events
• Overload capability handles motor start-up surges that would trip lesser systems - important for manufacturing, cold storage and pumping sites
• LFP chemistry provides stable, long-cycle-life performance with CE/IEC certification and integrated lightning protection
• Industrial-grade enclosures suit indoor plant rooms and outdoor compound installations across
• Australian conditions
  Storion H-series adds full off-grid capability for sites that need to operate independently of the grid entirely

When the grid fails, your critical loads stay protected and your operations continue without the financial cost of unplanned downtime.

Pairing AlphaESS storage with your existing or new solar array closes the gap between when your panels generate and when your business actually needs that power:

• Captures surplus solar that would otherwise export at low feed-in rates and shifts it to the periods when your tariff is highest
• DC-coupled and hybrid configurations maximise solar self-consumption across new and existing PV systems
• Sized relative to your solar array output and daily load curve so generation and storage work as a matched system rather than independent assets
• Suited to rooftop, ground-mount and commercial solar carport installations where storage is part of the broader energy infrastructure
• AlphaCloud monitoring shows exactly how much of your consumption is being covered by stored solar generation

Your solar investment generates the same energy it always did - but now far more of it stays on your site, working for your business. See how storage integrates with a commercial solar system.

AlphaESS Storion's modular cabinet architecture is built for staged rollouts and future expansion - you're not locked into the initial system size:

• Add cabinet modules as loads grow, solar arrays expand, EV fleets electrify or new tenants come on board
• Storion H-series scales from tens of kilowatt-hours to over 3,000kWh in a single configuration; T-series clusters extend into multi-MWh territory
• Modular expansion minimises downtime during upgrades - add capacity without taking down the core system
• Suits multi-site portfolios with centralised AlphaCloud monitoring and management across all locations
• Our commercial electricians handle all switchboard works, grid connection compliance and commissioning at each stage of expansion

Your storage investment grows alongside your business - on a timeline that matches your operations, not a fixed capacity decision made on day one.
