Voltx Offering Sofar Battery as Alternative to Their Neovolt

TH4K on 19/09/2025 - 01:21

I signed up around 10 august with VoltX neovolt battery 30kw package from this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/915675.

Yesterday I received this email:

We are so pleased to announce that you are one of the qualified Customers to experience our Sofar Battery Package.

By signing this offer, you secure your spot for an accelerated installation. We are ready to install your new battery system within 2-3 weeks, so you can begin enjoying its benefits right away.

My original contract has neovolt x 3 batteries and inverter. Where as in that email it has sofar batteries:

Sofar Hybrid 5kW inverter ESI 5K-S1-A * sf-inv-5k-1p-hy * 1
Sofar 5.12kWh battery BTS 5K * sf-bat-5p12-48v * 6
Installation * 1

I tried to find some comparisons between the 2 and so far I'm getting convinced that it should be equivalent if not better than neovolt.

Anyone else received such offer from them? Anyone has experience with sofar batteries? They've been in Australian market since 2016.

      Yea agree its dodgy. I think they've over booked people with neovolt batteries and now they're not able to supply the depend

    Just compare the specs. Neovolt is a good budget battery with 8000 cycles, 95% DoD. Happy with my 50kw.

      Their specs are quite identical, according to chatgpt sofar is more reputable due to their presence in overseas for longer period.

    Does the contract state it can change components before delivery?
