[NSW only] NSW Battery incentives are included in the quoted price.

Good-priced AlphaEss battery system for the OzB Community, lots of inquiries after the Severe Thunderstorm last week.

AlphaEss SMILE-G3-B5-INV+BAT-10.1 10kwh battery for $6,490 installed
AlphaEss SMILE5-INV+BAT-13.3P 13.3kWh battery for $7,490 installed
AlphaEss SMILE-G3-B5-INV+BAT-10.1*2, 20kwh battery for $9,990 installed

All AlphaEss batteries are suitable for any existing single-phase or three-phase solar system. Additional solar panels can be quoted separately if required.

To grab this 2025 AlphaEss Special offer or get a tailored quote, shoot us an email at [email protected] or reach out to us at 1300 211 230.
Don't forget to provide your installation address, best contact number, and a snapshot of your switchboard.

In 2015, AlphaEss opened an office in Australia. In fact in 2022 and 2023, data from Sunwiz suggests that Alpha ESS were the number 1 solar battery installed by volume in Australia.

AlphaESS offers a 10-year product warranty covers manufacturing defects and is the aspect of the warranty that is most commonly claimed by customers.
The batteries also come with a performance warranty which guarantees whichever comes first out of the 2 conditions below:
the battery retains 70% of its usable capacity after 10 years
the battery has throughput 3.12MWh per kWh of usable capacity

Additional Costs:
Three-phase energy meter: $500 supply and install (mandatory if a home has 3-phase power supply)
Backup circuits (up to 2 circuits) and changeover switch: $600 supply and install (mandatory if you want the battery to work when there is a blackout)
Smoke alarm: $100 supply and install (mandatory requirement if installing a home battery in the garage)
Bollard: $100 for each supply and install (mandatory requirement if installing a home battery in the garage)
Fireproof Sheet: $200 for each supply and install (mandatory requirement if the battery back wall material is flammable)
The battery location is more than 5 meters away from the switchboard: +$25 ~ $50 per meter.

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

    • Wouldn’t like a string of cloudy days in a chilly winter.

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

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

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

    • +1

      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.

  • Curious how prices compare to a powerwall?

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

  • 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

    • 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.

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

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

      • +1

        Doesnt BYD LFP Blade have 5000 cycles

      • +1

        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…

  • Does green iot have pricing for SigEn batteries?

    • Yes ,we do. Do you mind email [email protected] to get a quote for SigEn batteries. Thank you

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

    Is 20KW battery too much for it to handle?
