    20kWh could get you off the grid asuming you have a decent solar panel setup

      Not recommended to go off gird when the battery inverter has only 5kw capacity.

      20kwh is sufficient for the nighttime usage for most people.

      • jackwangxp on 22/01/2025 - 23:13

        This is a little on the lower side. So for fully ultilising the battery and not draw any current from the grid, You can't really turn on the ducted air con. Or use the oven. On top of keeping the essentials running, like fridge and lighting etc., pretty much left you with a kettle. So a bigger inverter would be practical .

  • DonaldJTrump on 22/01/2025 - 16:34

    I have seen a lot of customer complaints for this battery online. Has it gotten any better in 2025 ?

      We had a lot of AlphaEss batteries failed in 2022.

      In 2023 and 2024, out of a couple of hundred Alpha systems, the failure rate is low and has been very similar to Tesla and Sungrow batteries.

      Alpha is the most cost-effective battery on the market with a large installation base in Australian market.

      Alpha works with almost all Energy retailers' VPP programs.

      My last Powereall quote was 13.5kW for $14.5k. Might be a bit less now with the extra rebate

      • simba-au on 23/01/2025 - 11:49

        I had pwall3 installed by Penrith Solar Centre for $12990 inc gst after govt rebate.

        On single phase house - no brainer. Best investment ever. It's not just the hardware but the software controlling the battery is amazing and if you have tesla car, it is the same app.

        I had blackout from storm last week and pwall fully backed up the house off grid without issue.

        If you don't have solar system yet, pwall 3 is one stop shop as it is an inverter and battery built in to one with capability to extend battery storage for future reqiuirement.

    I thought batteries were still not financially worth while yet?

      Stating the obvious, depends on your usage.

      For me, in a house of four adults, with an existing 10kw solar system and some quick maths based on numbers in my energy app, it would take five years to break even on the 13.3kwh battery. I'd go for that over the 10 since in winter we have used that much power in a day.

      Someone can comment and let me know if five years is too long or not to break even on the battery.

        5 years at the current electricity rates. Shit keeps going up

    • Malik Nasser on 22/01/2025 - 19:18

      According to this, the average daily power usage for a 4 person home in Sydney is 20kWh.
      According to this, the average electricity price in NSW is 33.84c/kWh.

      So assuming you are charging your battery completely by solar, and are fully using the 20kWh per day from the battery, the yearly saving is $2,470.32 (0.3384 x 20 x 365).
      If the 20kWh battery installed is costing you $9,990, then the payback is about 4 years.
      This is a very rough calculation, and does not take your specific circumstances into consideration, but gives you a general idea.
      And as per @twig comment, electricity prices keep going up. As such payback could be shorter.

      On another note, there is also the convenience of having electricity when the grid goes down (which depending on what camp you are in, could happen more often in future).

    I'm waiting for V2G EVs before I launch. I wish they were here already.

    • impoze on 22/01/2025 - 18:47

      This also seems like a reasonable option once they are available.

    • AssociatedGREEN IOT @ Green IOT on 22/01/2025 - 19:14

      V2G is a good idea but It's unlikely to happen as majority of car battery is only designed for 500-1000 cycles…

      • impoze on 22/01/2025 - 19:41

        Doesnt BYD LFP Blade have 5000 cycles

      • NinjaChicken on 22/01/2025 - 20:01

        Quoting charge cycles on their own is a bit disingenuous.

        Take for example the battery in a Kia EV6, which is specced at ~77 kw/h, we’ll round that down to 70 kw/h of usable capacity.

        1 charge cycle is utilising every kw/h in that battery and recharging it the same.

        The biggest battery quoted in this deal is 20 kw/h. So the EV6 battery has 3.5 times the storage.

        Now, you are unlikely to discharge a full 70 kw/h of the battery in a single day, so you would only use a percentage of that, and that percentage of usage also means that you will only use a percentage of a charge cycle.

        Google AI quotes the following on Alpha ESS charge cycles:

        An AlphaESS 20 kWh home battery can complete about 280 charge and discharge cycles per year in a climate that's well-suited to the battery. This means that over 20 years, the battery would complete about 5,600 cycles

        Being that our EV battery has 3.5 times the capacity and Google AI states the EV6 can last for 1500 charge cycles, you have something very similar, if not much better than a home Alpha ESS battery.
        (Not that the EV6 will probably ever support V2G or V2H, so take that as indicative only).

        Any source on that? I’d argue majority of EV batteries these days are LFP, being base model Teslas and I believe BYD’s entire line up. How is that any different to these batteries which are also LFP.

        Actually you said “car battery” so maybe you’re referring to lead acid…

      • IXXI on 23/01/2025 - 08:35

        Fortunately car traction batteries are warrantied by the km, not by the number of cycles, so you are good for ~8 years or ~180,000km regardless how hard you cycle that battery on V2X. I'd say that will change in the future, but for now cycles are not a concern.

    • jackwangxp on 22/01/2025 - 23:06

      In this scenario you can't drive this battery on wheels. You will have to have a second car to go out.

    I have 13KW Solar system with 2 x 5kw fronius inverter.

    Is 20KW battery too much for it to handle?

    • Shakow on 22/01/2025 - 21:11

      Depends, you should easily make 60kw in summer time if not more and that will obviously fill the battery
      Winter, maybe closer to 30 so may not fill it

      Then on over cast / rainy days you may not make any where near enough to fill it even in summer

    • AssociatedGREEN IOT @ Green IOT on 22/01/2025 - 21:15

      The 13KW Solar system can easily charge 20KWh battery as far as the weather permits.

    • bleugh on 23/01/2025 - 15:31

      I have a 13 kW solar system with 2 x Sungrow 5kW inverters on the central coast

      my system is very badly shaded in winter, but in summer, I almost make 80kWh!
      a typical winter output on a system this size is 30-40kWh average a day (mine makes maybe 12 :-P)

      I pull 31kWh from the grid on average
      on average I send 14kWh to the grid

      so, for me, a 20kWh battery is perfect!
      for me, 3/4 the year it'll fully charge / discharge, saving over a fiver a day!
      the rest of the year, i can charge it off peak (at 21c per kWh) and discharge it on peak (when leccy costs 54c per kWh), saving 33c per kWh

  • syba on 22/01/2025 - 21:35

    I got the 13kWh battery a few weeks ago and it seems quite good but only early days. I suggest getting a few quotes. I paid $7200 including connecting to an existing 3phase meter and having a few circuits connected for blackout protection. Not from the OP, but their price doesn't sound too bad (prices can range a lot - some price keen and others seem to gouge - possibly hoping people just buy because they are getting a rebate and think it is now cheap.).

    • AssociatedGREEN IOT @ Green IOT on 22/01/2025 - 22:23

      Thanks for your inquiry and the VIC battery price will be about 20-30% higher due to no battery incentives from the state government.

    • infamouschris1 on 23/01/2025 - 22:15

      We recently got 2 quotes in Melb for the 10kWh and the 13kWh option, both came back at $8800 inc GST installed.

      • Corgsta on 24/01/2025 - 08:34

        Thanks. Helps give me an idea where the price is sitting at the moment. I have 2 Huawei inverters, I think they are limited to LG Chem or Huawei batteries (DC connected), due to it being high voltage.

    • AssociatedGREEN IOT @ Green IOT on 23/01/2025 - 09:35

      Hi Lee, the energy bill is just for us to know your energy consumption and allow us to customize solar / battery system size. Alternatively, you can share us your daily consumption numbers. We just need the address (we can see the roof size), the electricity consumption numbers, and a photo of the switchboard (show us single phase or three phase). Thank you.

    Was thinking about getting this installed at folks house and assume you can charge the battery from the grid when needed. What speed can the battery be charged at from the grid? ie how many kWh would the battery get on a single phase or 3 phase supply?

  • AssociatedGREEN IOT @ Green IOT on 23/01/2025 - 22:56

    The battery can be charged the from the grid when needed at 5kwh per hour (battery inverter size).

    The battery can get on both single phase and 3 phase supply.
