Lithium Batteries for Off-Grid Systems in Australia

GENZ Energy: An Australian company, GENZ Energy, produces robust and reliable LFP (Lithium Ferro Phosphate) batteries designed to withstand harsh Australian conditions. Their battery modules are made to comply with the strict requirements of the mining and government sectors.
Powerplus Energy: They source high-quality Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) for their safe, flexible, and scalable 24V and 48V rack-mounted battery modules. Powerplus offers two battery options – the ‘ECO’ and the Premium ‘LiFe’. These self-managed batteries come with an inbuilt BMS (Battery Management System) and don’t require control cables, allowing them to be paired with most battery inverter/chargers.
BYD: Recognized as the world’s largest lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle manufacturer, BYD operates in more than 50 countries. They offer three lithium battery solutions designed to pair with compatible battery inverters: Battery-Box Premium LVS, Battery-Box Premium LVL, and Battery-Box LV FLEX. Each version is designed for maximum cycle life, performance, and safety.
Tesla: Developed the Powerwall2, a 13.5kWh rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that stores solar for improved self-consumption and some backup power. The Powerwall2 comes with an in-built battery inverter, a web-based monitoring platform, and a separate ‘Gateway’ enclosure containing a 1-phase grid isolation contactor to isolate selected circuits in a blackout. It is designed for properties with grid-connected solar systems that have sufficient ‘excess solar production’ to recharge the battery for nighttime consumption. However, the Powerwall2 is not currently suitable or warranted for fully off-grid applications.
AlphaESS: Combines German technologies with its own energy management system to make its residential and commercial battery storage systems.
Pylontech: Pylontech is a popular choice for off-grid solar installations, known for its high-quality lithium batteries. They offer a range of battery solutions, including the US2000 and US3000 and US5000 series, which are designed for residential and commercial applications. Pylontech batteries are known for their reliability, long lifespan, and compatibility with various inverter brands. They are a cost-effective choice for those looking to upgrade their off-grid solar system with lithium technology.
