Edit: Fixed price. $7,800 for QLDers (not $7,500) before rebate.

Edit2: You can still lock in the price if you make an appointment and have them design a setup. A proposal needs to be signed before 31/10 to lock in the rebate is what the rep told me. Voltx will put all this in writing do you don't miss out.

Voltx appears to be expanding to QLD. I'm in the market for solar battery and this popped up when I was researching. Quick look at the specs of the battery and history of Voltx/Neovolt seems promising.

$7,800 - $1,600 = $6,200 is also a very sharp price for a 10kWh battery with 5kW hybrid inverter.

Can also stack multiple batteries for extra capacity which is nice. We're going for a 2-pack.

    Installed by Thursday, isn't that a tad optimistic?

    • ZIngerBurgR on 27/10/2024 - 13:39

      Yeah it is if you're not already in talks with Voltx. Posting this for visibility because you never know.

  • Darkochan on 27/10/2024 - 13:38

    Ive been asking and chasing since last month for site inspection for my Sydney unit apartment, to check if it is possible to install. Still no date for the inspection. The CS keep staying still coordinating with technician.

    • killingtime on 27/10/2024 - 16:13

      You're putting a battery in a unit? interesting

      • Darkochan on 28/10/2024 - 00:19

        So I can use it during peak hour and charge it during the ev charging hour. I’m with ev plan.

  • Jessie Ryder on 27/10/2024 - 13:42

    Guessing this is only suitable for existing QLD systems that only have a 5Kw Inverter?

    Almost Zero chance of getting this installed by 31st too.

    • Waikikamukau on 27/10/2024 - 14:00

      Nah, all good there. The 5Kw inverter is specific to the battery, meaining it can handle 5Kw input/ouput at any time.
      Mine is mated to a 13.3Kw panel/10Kw inverter (2x5Kw) solar system and has been working beautifully for the past month.
      Typically if the battery is at 100% by the time the solar feed is done for the day (about 4pm), we'll have enough power to get us (family of 4) through to midnight when the 8c/kWh tariff kicks in.

          I am in VIC and actively looking to finalise installation of a 13.2 kW solar setup with 20 kWh Sungrow SBH battery & Sungrow SH10RS inverter (9.9 kW) - ( I have induction cooking at home and hope to use the batteries charged by solar to sustain the cooking and all other electricity demands of a 2 storied house & 6 residents). Intrigued by couple of providers who offered to install batteries coupled to 5kW inverters (which is what you seem to have done). Keen to understand the drive behind that approach so that I can adjust mine.

    $5,900 is also a very sharp price

    Its actually an electrifying price

  • Rajserp on 27/10/2024 - 14:22

    It is likely to not financial sense even at $5900.

    10kW is going to be saving the difference between your import rate and solar export. At $2 or $3 per day. 5-8 years payback.

    • crc32 on 27/10/2024 - 14:45
      +3

      The financial argument is a bit more complicated than that. For example, your approach ignores moving to a much cheaper demand tariff and never have to pay the demand fee.

        I checked the wholesale offer for amber on the energymadeasy gov site. Its a worse plan over all for me unfortunately.

        Did you have a different provider I can compare to?
        I dont use much power, just overnight, Im constantly exporting 10kw and getting squat

          I'm in NSW and have an EV so the comparison may not work but I'm on the AGL EV plan with demand tariff. I have a 10kW solar system with a 12.8 kW battery. My electricity bill for the last 53 days is -$15.30. This is with a 7c/kWh solar feed-in rate. This drops to 5c on 1st November.

            @crc32: Yeah. With 7c i was still always in front for the year.

            Fit dropped and use rate increased..firt time ive paid for power in 9 years though

    • BargainBogan99 on 27/10/2024 - 14:45
      +4

      I live in a place with expensive power.

      Solar fit is 5c/kwh
      Anytime use rate is 36c/kwh

      So math checks out.
      5 year ROI for me assuming best case.

      Maybe a bit different if using TOU, best use case is likely solar powerplant with amber energy.

    • drprox on 27/10/2024 - 14:59

      Yep off grid or who cares imo. Daily charges will continue to increase.

      • WhyAmICommenting on 27/10/2024 - 15:40

        This is a good point, although in still setting $1 a day options. Hard to go past that for the outlay…

    Where's the tipping point do we reckon for when home batteries make economic sense (for the average home)?

    • ZIngerBurgR on 27/10/2024 - 15:49
      +1

      I would say if people could make their money back (and then some) within the warranty period, then that's a pretty big confidence boost?

      But there's also a lot of misinformation out there regarding solar power and battery storage, so it may take some time yet before we see this become more mainstream.

      For my use case, on a balance of cost, ROI and blackout protection, the right time is right now.

      • BargainBogan99 on 27/10/2024 - 16:09

        These particular ones arent any good for blackout protection. (Spoke to them about that)

        • ZIngerBurgR on 27/10/2024 - 17:16

          Oh interesting, it's something I forgot to bring up during initial quotation.

          Did they give technical explanation?

          From Solar Quotes:

          Bytewatt Neovolt Batteries: Pros & Cons

          One of the more affordable all-in-one battery systems
          Fast switchover time in a blackout - 20ms
          Can be charged by solar panels during a blackout
          Comparatively short product warranty - 5 years.

          They're good enough to keep your fridge running and a few other things for a few hours until technicians can do a fix.

    • Waikikamukau on 27/10/2024 - 16:05

      I agree with Zinger. For me, $5900 will be covered in 4 years easily with a 10kwh battery. Equates to saving $1500 per year or $375 a which I believe is easily achievable, particularly with price increases expected. On install I was told the battery has an expected lifespan of 8000 cycles which is about 20 years. If it gets anywhere near that it's great and with extra capacity available if necessary down the track. For the record, I discharge the battery from 100% to 5% and was told by the installer this is a perfectly normal cycle.

    • drprox on 27/10/2024 - 16:52

      When V2G exists and you buy an EV not a stand alone home battery at all.

      • keeperofthegood on 28/10/2024 - 12:13

        Can you explain this a little more? Are you saying that if V2G is available on an EV, it negates the need for a battery entirely? What if the car isn't parked at home during the sunshine? Would a battery not make sense in that instance?
        Sorry I'm new to this!

        • ZIngerBurgR on 28/10/2024 - 15:04
          +2

          Yeah V2G and V2H means you can use your EV to power the home.

          We have 2 EVs already, so we're ready to make that happen as soon as legislation allows.

          If you're not home then solar panels and/or the grid power your home.

          This would somewhat negate the need for a battery yes.

          However one potential issue would be vehicle battery warranty. Car manufacturer may not be happy if the battery is cycled through powering a home, instead of being done so while the vehicle drives.

          To counter this I'm sure they'll start warrantying batteries for time, distance and cycles instead of just time and distance.

  • semaj on 27/10/2024 - 16:14

    Did the price go up $300 in the last 2 hours, or am I missing something? Following OP's link I see:

    Good news: We're expanding our operations to Queensland! 🎉🎉

    To celebrate the launch, we're offering an exclusive $1,600 cashback, bringing the price of our VoltX Neovolt System down from an already low price of $7,800 to $6,200 (including installation).

    I have been to the all energy conference last week. Number of chinese companies applied for battery certification in Australia and expected to get clearance early 2025. Good number of them offering at US$3,600 for 20Kwh . There were some big players as well CATL,BYD.

    TESLA was offering 10kwh battery at $13k . But another firm had 215kwh for $26K(rack mounted)

    CATL had 750kwh , but refused to give the price.

    Another cell manufacturer had a 1kwh cell US$36
    Typically, 16 of them with the BMS in one unit. So, for less than $1K, you can get 16kwh battery.

    So I suggest wait till April 2025 to get the battery.

    • baxter on 29/10/2024 - 10:59

      That's awesome info! I've been wondering for a long while why home battery prices are still so expensive! When GWM Ora have a 63kW battery in a car that they sell for $34k, it ridiculous that I can't get the same size battery installed in my house for $5 to $10k cheaper.

      And it's a complete game changer. No longer would people be mucking around with 13kw powerwalls or stupid 3 or 4kW modular batteries - you'd just get a 50kW battery installed and know you have enough power for every situation. Enough power to soak up all your excess solar. Enough power to run your whole home, rather than just a few essential appliances in a black out. And the ability to help stabilise the grid when necessary, and get paid for it. It's such a no-brainer.

      • apaul on 29/10/2024 - 17:46

        Thats exactly my thoughts were. Why cant they enable reverse couplling for all these cars.

        May be due to kilometres warranty?

  • DingoBlue on 27/10/2024 - 16:42

    • ZIngerBurgR on 28/10/2024 - 15:01

      Nah they'll give you a proper quote to sign and agree to, before any works are done.

      Of course there are added costs if your switchboard is far away, two storey home or if additional parts are required etc. but it's all very upfront.

      Then again you would know all this if you asked them for a quote, which it seems like you haven't done.
