[NSW, SA, QLD] 30kWh VoltX Neovolt Battery & 5kW Inverter $5920 Installed (Metro Areas) @ VoltX

1080

At the risk of being flamed, I'm trying to work out if I should go ahead with this deal or not.

I am aware of VoltX products and they seem reasonable quality. I can't really find too much bad about them online.

The price seems incredibly cheap (which makes me a little nervous). I spoke to a consultant (overseas call centre) and they discounted it on the spot a further $500 without asking so $5420 after all the rebates.

Anyone else had any experience with these guys before I pull the pin?

I already have a decent solar system and I export 30kw a day roughly, and this comes with an inverter which they (I assume) divert my solar into these batteries.

Too good to be true?

      1. Mate, Lithium battery does not emit gas during normal operation. When it does, it is thermal runaway and it's best that you also runaway. The rules for placement is in the event of thermal runaway it will emit buck loads of toxic gas inside the battery chemical, not because of normal operations.

      2. You are not supposed to install battery into timber/weatherboard wall. You need fire rated sheet if your house is weatherboard/timber. It's the rules.

      3. Use electricity plan with free window or go Amber. I have Sigenergy setup - 10kW SP Inverter with 32kWh (4 x BAT 8.0) battery, I'm using OVO EV Plan and charge off free 3 window and charging my EV on EV rate (8 cents/kWh) because we don't work from home. Pulling average 50-60kWh a day from grid (with 10-12kWh solar on top because Winter shading sucks) and pay ~ $1.5/a day.

      4. Yes, agree. But for Ozbargainer and best ROI without complicated Amber trading, this is a bargain. Just be careful of quality, Neovolt is basically cheaper Alpha ESS which by itself is cheap stuff.

      5. Single phase IS enough. I have 10kW inverter, 7kW AC charger, 5 split systems, Heat Pump HWS, electric cooktop (non-induction) and I use 60-70kWh a day no problemo on a standard 63A single phase. 3P upgrade isn't cheap.

      • You don’t recommend these batteries even at these prices? Does cheap mean junk or not a Mercedes SUV compared to a Renault, Mitsubishi,,etc?

        • +1

          There are plenty of cheap alternatives that are better, at least on paper. For example Jaycar offer ESY Sunhome HM6-30 for similar $6k for 30kWh battery but with a 6kW inverter. The battery itself is modular, IP66 rating which is very rare in this price range. There's Huaracan Energy that offer similar up to 50kWh Deyess Power Pro and up to 8-10kW inverter. Deyess is an old player in off-grid.

          This is like comparing Chinese cars. Old MG vs Chery or GWM. Old MG is cheap but nasty whereas GWM or Chery is just a smidge more expensive but far more palatable. Personally you don't want 5kW inverter with 50kWh battery, you need to frequently charge the battery to 100% for cell balancing.

          Jaycar link
          https://www.jaycar.com.au/home-battery-solution

          Also I hope you understand that any work over $20k before rebates (which the 50kWh pack will be, as the rebates on that alone is $15k) will require insurance which is around $750. I normally don't see that in these kinda quote which will mean alarm bells ringing.

            • @chrisharry53: Are the Jaycar batteries VPP approved, and are they eligible for the subsidy?

              • @Sparky: Click on link. I called and it does include hybrid inverter, DC coupling and installation. It is a new deal and the person I spoke to hasn’t had anyone sign up yet meaning quicker instal???

              • @Sparky: Jaycar ESY works via Evergen to connect with Amber. No idea about the NSW VPP subsidy, some said ESY hasn't appeared on Mactrades yet to apply.

                What it does is it uses Evergen App if you wanna connect to Amber, instead of Ember Smartshift.
                https://www.amber.com.au/evergen

          • @Bigboomboom: Thanks. I called Jaycar and it does include hybrid inverter, DC coupling and installation. It is a new deal and the person I spoke to hasn’t had anyone sign up yet meaning quicker instal?

  • @VoltX Energy

    Much difference in pricing for two phase houses going for two inverters and 40kw of batteries including backup protection?

    • I just rang for a quote, they stated that they are no longer offering two inverters to an install, this could not be changed even though I have two phases. So doesn't seem to be a phase/capacity thing, just a company restriction.

  • Just a note on upsizing battery
    Warranty (70% capacity @ 10yrs) requires MINIMUM throughputs (usage).
    Basically need to average 100% discharge each day (over 10 years).
    Less than this will void warranty.
    But thats only an issue, in 10 years, (if) your capacity is <70%

    Appendix 2 of warranty, min throughputs:
    50.5 kWh = 191.9 MWh over 10 years:
    (19.2 MWh/year/52.6 kWh/day)

    Just something worth considering, better value but risk warranty claim if not met.

    Also > 50deg voids warranty, easy to do if outside in heatwave.

    (Edit, but its such a good deal I'm getting one for a rental, because not all landlords are bad)

    • +1

      I'm also looking at battery for my rental too, however I have decided to look at different alternatives in similar price ranges, mainly modular one because of foot print concern.
      1. ESY Sunhome, similar pricing for 30kWh through Jaycar. Modular, IP66, 6kW inverter and ESY has been making batteries (albeit for small devices) since 2004 and only recently (2021) expanded to home battery.
      2. Fox ESS, pretty popular in UK. Was/is no 1 in term of market share there.
      3. Deyess, requires Hybrid inverter separately. Pretty old player in off-grid and recently expanded to on-grid.

      • I'm in the same boat. Any revelations with these models?
        Any insight into tax deduction (over 10 years)?

        • Tax depreciation over 10 years. ATO guidance is 15 years but arguably warranty is only 10 years.

          Haven't got any quote for those 3 yet. I do have some quotes for Growatt APX-HV which is Sigenergy-lite (having very similar features to Sigen) but a bit more than I hope for and Growatt Warranty is a bit lacking.

          • @Bigboomboom: I've got a Growatt system at home (LV). Hasn't missed a beat in 6 years and still at 100% capacity. Installers were good and support has been beyond impressive to be honest.
            It had 5yrs warranty when I bought it, but then around 8 months in I found a link for a complimentary upgrade to 10yrs.
            So I've reached out to Sunterra again for a Growatt system for the rental, but they are still a bit off on VoltX or Jaycar/ ESY on pricing. Currently chatting with Voltx re some tech questions. Finding them a little frustrating, but do have a direct number. So support seems pretty good.

            • @tunzafun001: Sunterra was quoting me $8k for 15kWh SPA all in one with 5kW inverter. My other installer who did the solar on the rental 3 years ago is doing $6,300 for 5kW inverter + 15kWh APX-HV and $1,100 for every extra 5kWh, still a bit pricier than I thought for Growatt. I'm waiting on some premium quote for Anker Solix X1 (verbal is $7,500 for 15kWh) and Franklin Wh (again verbal is under $9,000 for 15kWh which looks quite tempting with its 12 years warranty for a premium product) from a top tier installer (top rated on Solarquotes), both Franklin and Anker do not require internet monitor for warranty. Still waiting on the ESY one as well.

              • @Bigboomboom: "Internet monitoring for warranty"… Interesting….
                Have an elderly tenant. No idea if she has wifi …

              • @Bigboomboom: @Bigboomboom
                Any stand outs yet mate?
                I rang Jaycar today…and they had no clue about home batteries. I Submitted my details on their link. Hopefully a better response.

                • @tunzafun001: Well I got quote from Smart Energy Answers for ESY, $6,680 for 20kWh or $6,780 for 25kWh. I'm waiting on written quote for Anker & Franklin while getting Green Loan from CBA approved.

                  • @Bigboomboom: That includes the CBA kick backs? Makes it a decent deal?
                    I wasn't going to bother with CBA stuff, thought it would all be mass inflated. Looks like I should.

                    • @tunzafun001: No not the Brighte one. This is just CBA Loan, you source your own quote and CBA will finance your payment at 3.99% interest rate. You don't get inflated quote because it's your choice of installer, any installers.

                      • @Bigboomboom: Ah I see. Cheers.

                        • @tunzafun001: Right now I'm fairly sure I would be going with ESY & SEA. I've heard that there's no stock at the moment but I'm not in a hurry, I also requested them to do a site inspection before installation just to make sure everything is correct.

                          Bit of a shame ESY only do 5kW inverter for TP at the moment.

  • This is my current setup:

    8.25 kW solar system with 25 X 330 W Q Cells MONO solar panels
    SolarEdge 8kW HD Wave Inverter with 25 x P370 optimizers (SE8000H)
    Single Phase

    Given how SolarEdge has optimizers for each panel, is this compatible with the Neovolt battery?

    I'm expecting the battery to be outside and very close (less than 3m away) from the switchboard.

    • @VoltX Energy

  • I had a quick call with their sales team and I've been told I can't get 2 x 5kwh inverter in QLD on single phase as Energex limits the total capacity of solar and battery inverter to 10kwh.

    Is this correct? I've done a quick search online and I'm seeing conflicting information which says 10kwh for solar inverter and 10kwh for battery inverter.

    • I'm in the same boat. Would be keen on 2x 5kwh inverter as 5kwh is just too small for peak usage times at night for family.

      • I believe this is due to Energex's 10kwh export limitation.

        If you already have a 5kwh solar inverter, that means you can only install 5kwh battery inverter on single phase.

        The only way you can bypass this is by having export limiting device (dynamic control unit I think?) and that will allow you to install 10kwh inverter for solar and battery independently (i.e. total 20kwh).

    • judging by solar quotes it's 10kw solar panels inverter + 10kw battery inverter limit on single phase?

      https://www.solarquotes.com.au/grid-connection/qld/

      • yes, with a caveat, based on my research.

        Hopefully someone who knows more than me can confirm.

  • @VoltX Energy

    Hi David

    Any deals for someone on a single phase that is looking for a 40kw system with 2 x 5kw inverters or 1 x 10Kw inverter? Correct me if I'm wrong but from reading the comments it seems that if you need load balancing with two 5kw inverters, than a 50kw battery is not really an option? It's ok if it is just 1 x 5kw inverter but for someone that only has a 5kw solar system, charging a 50kw seems it would take too long to charge (10 hours minimum) with just charging from solar and a 40kw battery would be more in a sweat spot. Wanting a 10kw inverter so i can run ducted system and other things and prefer the overhead as opposed to a 5kw inverter

  • Can someone please DM me their details for referral?

    Thanks.

    • replied via DM

      • Thanks. Got it.

  • For anyone who's on the fence like me, I'm going to sign up for now as the deal ends today and think about it over the weekened. Can always cancel next week if I change my mind.

    They won't install two inverters in QLD. I have pushed them but they won't do it.

    I have stacked the referral discount so the price came down to $6500.

    • mind dm'ing me your details and i'll see what I can get. I have 2x5kw solar inverters already so interesting to see what they say.

      Or anyone wanna dm me their details for the referral bonus would be appreciated.

    • Inverter limit is set by grid distributor and they can be different. It's possible your area does not allow over a certain kW inverter limit depending on your phase and the 2nd battery inverter exceeds that.

      • +1

        This should help clear up the confusion regarding this limitation in QLD.

        https://www.energex.com.au/our-services/connections/resident…

        • got it thanks. gonna call them now.

          • @splats: Just beware that they won't install 2 inverters regardless. It's either take 1 inverter or leave it type of situation unfortunately.

            I feel like they don't want to take on complicated jobs and want to push out volumes instead.

            • @keejoonc: salesperson didn't try too hard for me. Waiting for quote via email for 4batteries as 5 probably won't fit.
              They reckon I have to replace one of my 5kw inverters with a hybrid and said wiring with existing solar etc will cost $1600 extra.
              Near impossible to find out if my connection is Dynamic or Fixed as even the installers don't have that on their system and apparently energex has a couple of couple of week delay for new install applications. So effectively you have to pay for a whole new inverter replacement and then MAYBE find out after the application approval that you were on fixed and didn't need to replace the existing inverter with extra costs…pickle.

  • Can someone please DM me a referral?

  • Anyone more technical able to confirm.
    It appears the inverter (SPB5K) has no PV input
    (it wont change from solar).

    This the inverter on the quote, and info from datasheets attached. Which seems to contradict what David is suggesting in various comments, although context is relation to adding new PV system from them, likley including appropriate hardware.

    This isnt just blackout, this is anytime.
    You need the hybrid inverter or other 'things'

    So youre limited to AC, which is limited by the inverter, so you can only top up from the grid at 5kw, so thats the MAX you will charge and consume per hour, so using cheap or free energy in off peak will be limited to charge, not just discharge

    • Are you sure about this? What good is a battery system if you can't charge from solar at all? Chat GPT says it can charge from solar.

      EDIT: I've looked into this and this is how AC coupled systems are designed to work. It does not have PV input as that is still handled by the solar inverter you have.

      Snippet from ChatGPT.

      The SPB model is designed to receive AC power from your solar inverter (like your Growatt) or grid — it does not have DC PV inputs.

      Those PV inputs are handled by your Growatt inverter, which converts PV DC to AC.

      The SPB then uses that AC (surplus) to charge the battery, and later discharges to supply your home or export.

      • I was told it was on the phone it would run independent or my existing system. Which is what made me question it.

        Your saying it doesn’t have PV input as it gets AC from your existing inverter, not DC from the panels. Which isnt independent (which inwas told). I hope youre right.

        It still limits the power generated by your inverter and loss along the way. My hybrid inverter/battery (seperate system) stores energy in DC so you can use 100% (theoretically) of your panels (which are 30% or 50% oversize) so going through an inverter will restrict. Generally curious.

        Also i was incorrect on the input, it's 10kVa so roughly 10kw

        • Well lower efficiency is one of the downsides of AC coupled system so that's to be expected.

        • It's not a hybrid inverter, it's AC Coupled. Your solar inverter supply AC current to the battery inverter. They do offer a hybrid inverter.

    • I think David has been clear that blackout protection doesn't mean you can charge battery from solar, and a hybrid inverter is required which is additional to the offer package. blackout protection only gives you back up to use stored power from batteries if grid cuts out

      • I think what you are referring to use charging the battery using solar during blackout, which is different to what Lazy1 talking about?

        • ah I see I misunderstood, thanks

      • So to be clear, this cant charge from solar?

        • Not during a blackout without a hybrid inverter.

      @Lazy1
      @keejoonc
      @Bigboomboom
      @V2L
      @BusMan247

      Jumping in here to clarify a few points, and I appreciate the discussion around this!

      How the included AC-coupled inverter works (SPB5K):

      • The SPB5K is not a hybrid inverter, its an AC-coupled battery inverter.
      • Yes, this can charge 5kW into the batteries (either from solar, or the grid) and also supply 5kW of power to the home. The WiFi app settings allow you to control this.
      • It does charge from solar…. just not directly from solar panels (DC). Instead, it charges from surplus AC power coming from your existing solar inverter (e.g. Growatt, Fronius, etc.).
      • So yes, the battery can charge from solar, and the system runs independently of your existing solar inverter. It doesn't require integration to function, just connection to the same AC circuits.
      • And this is exactly how AC-coupled battery systems are designed to work. It's ideal when you already have a working solar inverter.

      What happens during a blackout for this AC-couple

      • Backup protection (additional $600) means the battery will power 2 selected circuits (e.g. fridge, lights) during an outage.
      • However, during a blackout, your solar system shuts down, just like it does now without a battery. So solar cannot charge the battery during a blackout unless you're using a hybrid inverter with a properly configured solar array.
      • This is the same limitation nearly all homes have with their existing grid-tied solar setups.

      Want to charge from solar during a blackout (let's talk Hybrid inverters)?

      We offer an upgraded hybrid inverter (currently $300 extra). This enables:

      • Charging from solar during outages
      • Seamless integration with new solar panels
      • A cleaner setup if you're planning to add additional PV during your battery install

      Important: this doesn't include rewiring your existing panels to the new hybrid inverter. If you're keeping your current solar system, we wouldd recommend using that to AC-charge the battery and pairing the hybrid inverter with new panels only.

      Do you NEED a hybrid inverter?

      • If you're in a blackout-prone area, having the ability to charge your batteries during an outage (e.g. multi-day outage) can be instrumental. And in that case, a hybrid inverter setup is well worth considering.
      • If you're in an area not prone to blackouts, the included AC-coupled system is often the smarter choice, especially when paired with backup functionality for 2 circuits. It's a simpler, more cost-effective setup that still gives you battery storage and backup capability.

      Let me know if any questions come up from this.

      Cheers,
      David

      • Thanks David, a bit more research would have cleared up my concern but i was living up to my username

        • Haha! All good @Lazy1

          Glad it's all cleared up, and always happy to help if anything else comes up!

          David

      • thanks that's very informative

      • If I end up being stuck with a single 5kW hybrid inverter, would that mean there would be no point in installing 9.6kW of panels as the 6.6kW system would be maxed out anyway?

        (Hopefully not needed as I'm currently awaiting contact from your team with your assistance regarding the possibility of 2 parallel inverters on my 3 phase setup or maybe the 10kW 3 phase hybrid inverter (bw-inv-tph10k))

        • +1

          @thestig

          Hopefully we can work out something that suits your preferences and requirements…. and at a great price too!

          Good question regarding the solar size!! Installing 9.6kW of panels can absolutely still make sense, even with a single 5kW hybrid inverter.

          Here's why:

          • During the day, your panels can supply up to 5kW to your home, and any excess generation (above that) can be used to charge your batteries, so you're still making use of the extra capacity.

          • Keep in mind, solar systems rarely generate at their full rated output — especially on cloudy days, winter months, or late afternoons. Having a larger 9.6kW array helps compensate for lower production times and stretches your usable solar window.

          • Oversizing the solar panel system is both common and compliant (usual compliance for a battery system us up to 200% over-sizing), and it helps maximise solar generation throughout the day, not just at peak noon.

          So even with a 5kW inverter, the 9.6kW system can still deliver better performance and battery charging compared to a smaller solar array.

          Cheers,
          David

          • @VoltX Energy: Thanks David, will stick with the solar size and looking forward to hearing about the 3 phase inverter solution to complete the final piece of the puzzle!

      • On more question which might help others with existing 5kw inverter.
        If we go hybrid AND rewire existing PV, can we ditch the old inverter so we can maximise PV output to charge batteries (i.e 6.6kw)? Going through the inverter will cap at 5kw, but hybrids allow DC through?

        • @Lazy1

          It’s worth noting first, we don't always recommend rewiring existing PV to a hybrid inverter. There are pros and cons to consider.

          You might gain some efficiency, but depending on the layout and the distance between your current solar inverter and where the new batteries will be installed, rewiring can introduce extra parts and labour costs.

          It really comes down to the value of what you gain versus the return. Technically, we could do it in most instances. But the return on investment can start to diminish.

          Let me explain a bit more:

          Even if you rewire your existing PV to connect directly to a hybrid inverter, battery charging is still limited to around 4.6kW.

          That's because the hybrid inverter has its own charging output limit, whether the solar is fed in through DC (from panels) or AC (via your existing inverter or from the grid).

          So while direct DC-coupled charging is more efficient, you’re still capped at around 4.6kW charging, and any excess generation will export to the grid, just like it does in an AC-coupled setup.

          Hope this helps!

          Cheers,
          David

      • @VoltX Energy Do you need a gateway?
        I am not up to speed with this topic and don’t understand a lot of it but did get a quote which had a gateway included at an additional charge. My quote was for the 30kwh system which I paid the deposit in June. Haven’t heard anything since? I am thinking you guys likely don’t have the stock and the people taking up this better offer will probably get installation before I will. There is heaps of conversing here while nothing on the already signed up and paid deposit end.

        • Actually it says Dynamic Control Unit on my quote (not gateway)

          I’m not sure what all of this means and didn’t question anything as I was happy with the price and product. But….. then I saw this OzBargain post and the amount of feedback from VoltX is concerning as I have received nothing since I paid the deposit in late June. Quote said 4-6 weeks for install then received deposit confirmation email advising 6-8 weeks and to send photos with a date I would prefer. I replied that I am traveling overseas for work in late August so the 6 weeks (mid August) would suit me better but have had no reply.

          • @Malbies: @Malbies

            Thanks for reaching out.

            A Dynamic Control Unit is sometimes required on single-phase properties when adding multiple inverters, or in areas with strict export limit regulations. Once I have your order details, I'll be able to give you specific feedback on why that item was included in your quote.

            I completely understand your concerns, especially after paying your deposit back in June. We take this seriously, and I'll personally look into your order.

            Regarding stock: we have ongoing deliveries and are installing so many homes every week, but it's true that we're currently experiencing inventory pressures due to unprecedented demand. This is happening across the industry, but we're actively managing stock arrivals to keep installations progressing.

            As for your installation timeframe, you haven't been forgotten, and your spot is secure. Just to reassure you, new customers signing up today are not being installed first, so your position is definitely prioritised.

            If you could kindly PM me your deal number or order number, I'll take a look and give you a specific update on where you sit in the installation queue.

            Cheers,
            David

  • Was fairly keen on the 50kWh system, but my use-case conclusion is that a single 5kW inverter is a bottleneck for both home supply/charging and grid export.

    • Adding a second one doesn't solve this?

      • Second inverter not being offered anymore, plus issues with Energy providers for VPP.

    • If you're in Melbourne check this, the owner from this business posted on MEEH Facebook he's offering 8kW Solis Hybrid Inverter + 50kWh Deyess battery for $6,100 as AC Coupled. Additional $900 to DC coupled if you want, unless you haven't already got solar.
      https://huracanenergy.com.au/

      • Appears like a group buy that you have to pay for everything upfront. Has anyone actually had an install from this newly registered company? thanks

        • According to them they are a spin off from Huracan Fabrication which makes 4WD accessories. They have done 1st batch (or more?) installation. No idea to their quality.

          What I do know is Solis is an OK brand, cheap but they have been around for ages. Deyess has also been around for ages in off-grid market.

          • @Bigboomboom: Thanks, I did see they trade from the same warehouse. Products seems fine. Did you sign up?

            • @Ford351: Nope, already got 32kWh Sigenergy battery with 10kW inverter. I'm looking for a decent budget one for the rental though.

      • Anyone took a chance with Huracan energy?

        • Guess I'll give them a chance and see how it goes…
          So far they have been actively responsive :)

          Tiger Neo N-type 60HL4-V 10.710kW of Solar Power (21 x JKM510N-60HL4-V 510 Watt panels)

          Solis S6-EH1P(3-8)K-L-PLUS-AU 8 kW of Inverter Power (S6-EH1P8K-L-PLUS-AU)

          Dyness Powerbox Pro 10kWh Solar Battery 5 x 10kWh up to 50kWh (46.08 kWh of Usable Capacity)

          $10,151 fully installed commissioned certified with most Gov rebates included

          Guess not too bad, for my single phase home and the automatic blackout protection will be a godsend with all the numerous blackouts in my area :)

            @LHSolutions: Have they installed it? I signed up with them for the power box G2.

            How is your system and how was the installation process?

            • @Killua27: Yes, got it installed a week ago and very happy so far.

              Installation process for me was smooth without any issues.

              Day prior to installation received delivery of solar panels, all the mounting brackets and other parts pieces.

              First day of installation the Electrician with apprentice did the Solar panel installation and wiring.
              Same day Huracan energy Boss himself delivered the Dyness Powerbox Pro batteries, Solis 8kW Inverter and mounted only the batteries in place.

              Second day Electrician double checked Solar panel installation, began wiring Inverter Batteries and the rest for complete home blackout protection switchboard smoke detector bollards so on.

              Third and last day the Electrician double checked tested everything with the Inspector commissioned it and explained to me how everything works.

              So far so good and happy :)

                @LHSolutions: They look great mate, I'm excited for mine. I'm getting about 15kw panels and 10kw deyes hybrid inverter with the 50kw power box g2 for about 15k.

                • @Killua27: Are you saying you're getting a Deye supplied and installed by VoltX?

                  • @skysurfer: No, I will be getting a 10 kw Deye hybrid inverter with 15kw jinko panels and 50 kw Dyness Pro G2 batteries from Huracan Energy

                    • @Killua27: shame they don't service Sydney region and only around Melbourne

    Hi David

    I have a two-story home with an existing solar panel system that I'd like to have removed and replaced with a new 6.6kW solar panel system if possible.

    I’m also very interested in taking up the 30kWh VoltX Neovolt Battery & 5kW Inverter including the $500 discount currently available.

    I previously left a message on your website, but just wanted to make sure all my details are captured and to check if there’s anything else I need to do at this stage to get started.

    Is there any additional information or steps you need from me to proceed?

      Hi @50centscheaper

      Thanks so much for reaching out!

      Please PM me with your details (name, email, phone, and address). I'll make sure you are recorded with our sales team and that notes are added to your profile.

      We're not able to respond with quotes fast enough at the moment… and that's on us. But rest assured, we will honour the OzBargain price as long as you've reached out before 5PM AEST, which you have!

      Thanks again for your patience and understanding!

      Cheers,
      David

      • Hi David, I've also not been able to make contact, have reached out yesterday but could not be available in the morning and awaiting further call back.

        @VoltX Energy

        Hi David,

        It would be great for everyone on this thread if you could clarify VoltX's stance on installing 2 inverters. Someone on Whirlpool forum was offered the optionu to install 2 inverters in QLD although he had to pay $1100 extra for the Village Energy system's dynamic control unit, but based on my conversation with Arman, I was not even given this option to consider and was told you guys only install one inverter.

        I know some of us would consider paying extra to have that additional 5kwh capacity on the inverter.

        Thanks.

          Hi @keejoonc

          UPDATE: This is now going to be possible with an upcoming software update.

          A software update from Neovolt will enable parallel inverter configuration (2 x 5kW single-phase) with a 50kWh battery setup. This is expected to roll out by late October.

          You can secure the deal now, and we’ll schedule your installation based on this setup.

          Here's how it works:

          • 5 batteries are split: 2 on one inverter, 3 on the other.
          • Both inverters share your home load equally. For example if your home is drawing 10 kW, each inverter supplies 5 kW.
          • Because one side has 2 batteries:
            • Those 2 batteries run out first
            • The remaining 3 batteries still have around 30% charge
          • After that, the system continues running at 5 kW output using the remaining power from the 3 remaining batteries.

          If you choose to add backup functionality:
          - The backup circuits are not shared, each inverter backs up its own circuits.
          - Therefore you can choose to:
          - To back up 2 circuits ($600) from one inverter, or
          - Back up 4 circuits ($1,200) using both.

          Our sales team is across this update and can assist you moving forward if you’d like to explore this setup further.

          AND - thinking ahead - I know a few of you were really keen on the OzBargain deal but held back because a parallel inverter setup wasn't available at the time.
          If that was you, please PM me, I have a solution I can offer.

          Let me know if you have any questions!

          Cheers,
          David

          • @VoltX Energy: Hi David, that sounds great.

            Can you please confirm whether 2 batterys and an inverter can all be stacked ontop of each other (mounted on the ground/concrete). Also if space is limited can 3 batteries be stacked ontop of each other and mounted on the ground and then the other inverter would be mounted on the wall next them - the inverter however would not meet the 600mm clearances to a garage door entry - is this applicable to batteries only or to batteries and the inverter?

            Cheers

            • @chillybags: Hi @chillybags

              You can't stack 2 batteries and an inverter all vertically on top of each other.

              The supported vertical stack is up to 2 batteries, and then the inverter is mounted separately, either beside or above.

              If you want to install 3 batteries, you can stack 2 batteries, and have the third battery + inverter positioned next to them on the ground.

              Regarding clearances:
              - The 600mm clearance applies to both batteries and inverters, and must be maintained on the left and right sides.
              - There also needs to be 900mm of clearance above the unit (battery or inverter).

              So unfortunately, if the inverter would be installed too close to a garage door or similar obstruction and doesn't meet the 600mm side clearance, that layout would not meet compliance. we always assess both inverter and battery positioning to ensure full compliance with AS/NZS 5139 guidelines.

              Cheers,
              David

              • @VoltX Energy: @VoltX Energy:

                Could you please clarify the space needed for 2xbatteries stacked on top of each other and depth stacking?
                I.e.

                How high will 2x batteries stacked be?

                How deep will 2x or 3x batteries be?

                How much space horizontally between batteries?

                Also how far from a window does a setup like this need to be? 300mm or 600mm?

                Appreciated
