    How is this only $5k? I can't get a 10kwh+inverter for less than $6k.

    • Same question !! Can someone advise on Neovolt?

    • +4

      What brand are you getting quoted? The subsidies benefit the cheaper battery brands far more.

      This is a great price for 50kwh but the inverter's going to be a real letdown.

    • +11

      Good question. The $4,999 pricing comes under the Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program and is limited to 80 installs. We’ve negotiated bulk supply on the Neovolt systems and streamlined installs through our partner teams in Sydney — that’s where the cost efficiency comes from.

        Wow and I thought home battery capacities can't match EV battery. This is an impressive deal

        • This is not the same battery tech as found in cars

          • @hippyhippy: Silly question, how is the battery tech different then in LFP EV's like RWD Tesla's? Assuming LFP cells for the solar battery.

            • @dingaling2:

              Silly question

              Not silly at all. I'm not across the latest, but not so long ago it was all the same batteries. Laptop, car, home all used the same battery tech. The difference is in construction and battery management systems.

        How do people usually determine the financial benefit of installing these batteries ? Roi etc

        And can you go completely off grid if u have these big batteries?

        • You can but it would’nt be sensible to go off grid if you live in an urban area.

          Rural? Probably.

          Bush? Almost certainly for new builds.

          Simple ROI is straightforward.

          • Energy consumption per day w/o PV+ battery?

          • Energy consumption per day with?

          Our PV+battery system data over the last 9 years shows me we are about 95% self sufficient and our breakeven came in about 8.5y.

          Which means the system paid for itself within that time and 1.5y (assuming 10y life) was “free”.

          Modern battery (bigger!) and PV system (much bigger) - like this deal - payback is much quicker I’d suggest.

        • My DB (Ausnet) has a portal that allows 2 years of historical usage data to be downloaded (which has solar exports and grid consumption in seperate lines). Then I simply assumed my solar exports would first offset peak usage (40c from 3pm to 9pm) then any left over would go to offpeak (20c). In addition, there are some plans with 3 hours of free energy so if I used that, I could get 15kwh of free energy every day (5kw x 3 hours) then my sayings would be $1,200 p.a.

          I had no way to figure out how to calculate savings on Amber or VPP but I figure it would likely be higher.

      • +1

        Please show me where you found this?
        Also, does this include installation, and is this price applicable in other states beyond NSW?

      • That's a very good price if it includes installation. I paid 10.5k for a 28.8kwh battery/5kw inverter and 18 panels in QLD :(

      • +1

        Who was your supplier/installer? I would sign up for that

      • I got 15 kw inverter and 42kw fox for similar price

        • Could you please share where you got your FoxESS battery from and what they were like to deal with?

        • info as well please. Ozbargain style

        • Please PM me the details as well as I am interested as well.

          Thankyou!

        • pl please too thanks

        • I also pm’d you thanks

        • Please PM. Thanks,

          Why the secrecy?

      • Was it a three phase?

      • Hi there

        Just wanting to understand how is the Fox ESS 42KW battery 5KW inverter better than the 50Kw alpha ESS system. Around 4800$ plus 500$ for backup.

        • +1

          Get a bigger inverter

      • The AlphaEss can be stacked into 2

        https://www.alphaess.com/Public/Uploads/uploadfile/files/202…

        It is also skinnier, d210mm vs d380mm, if that is a more important consideration than height.

        • only 5kw inverter, not a consideration for me

      • Can I have the installer contact if possible?

      • link please

    • Cheap quality batteries, very…. quick installs. Not a lot of after care service (batteries are not passive systems they need to be managed for years and years to come). I work in the industry - these guys are not our competition as we operate with different clients. But boy oh boy, do we get a lot of business from homes that have been burnt by previous "big box" cheap cost installers.

      To be clear I have no idea if guys are decent - they probably are. But cost wise - like buying an Acer Laptop, vs, a Dell, vs and Apple. Their are tiers. If its too good to be true then its too good 9/10 times.

      • Hi there,
        I understand your presumption as we have seen it in the industry, but it's not accurate about VoltX.
        VoltX has been in the energy storage industry for a long time. We work with major retailers across Australia. We’re not a pop-up installer… we have established teams and a dedicated after-sales support network to look after customers long-term. Our pricing is a result of negotiating with established battery brands and ordering large volumes.
        Cheers,
        David

        • 100% i have zero knowledge on your organisation. Sorry if it came out like I was talking ill.

          I just want to warn folks, do you research and do NOT buy on just price (funny saying this on OZB). The after care service is where its at.

          If a consumer has a problem with thier install in 5 yrs time, and the installer is no longer in business- too bad. You can go to the manufacturer but good luck on getting support or booking an electrician to come out.

          I have probably 2-3 of there conversations a week - and we're a high quality but small regional installation company.

          Solar quotes is a good source for customers.

          • +3

            @Goremans: All good, and totally fair points!
            You’re right… after-care and long-term support matter just as much as the install itself. That’s why we have our own service and support teams, plus partnerships with major manufacturers to ensure warranty coverage well beyond the initial install. We’re here for the long run, not just the sale :)

            Cheers,
            David

          • +1

            @Goremans: If the system has paid for its cost in <5Y then the consumer is much less financially exposed.

        • " been in the energy storage industry for a long time." Looks like only 3yrs.

      • Which brands do you think are best and what should one expect to pay for a similarly sized battery?

        • +2

          Solar quotes has a great comparison site. We use Sungrow, some GoodWe, Tesla if we are used for physical size, we may take on Daye as a budget entry brand.

          Imo fronius inverters and other high tier are overpriced.

          Remember they are ALL made in China- some say otherwise but when you dig down its software or less than 10% of the device.

        • There is no "best". Everything has a chance to fail.

          41.94kWh FOX ESS cost price is just above 11k.

          3.2kWh sungrow SBR modules are around 1400-1500.

      • +1

        batteries are not passive systems they need to be managed for years and years to come

        ???

        • +2

          Yeah, what a load of BS. Just run the battery till it dies. It's not an engine that requires a change of oil every year.

          • +2

            @beesider: You mean you don't wash out and refill the acid in your car battery every year??

          • @beesider: Its a big part of my job. Everyday dealing with plants that go off-line or have faults. Everyday. I wish it wasn't believe me.

        • I won't say who i work for but thats essentially my job. Batteries need to be online to receive firmware updates, they are typically installed as partial "full home" backup so if a system has a glitch and then a blackout happens, and settings like back up are not active (happens a lot), then the power goes out. People are slowly signing up to VPP's which means they need to always online, they loose local connection. People also use EV chargers in their systems and since this is all relatively new products… there are teething issues. We will get to a set and forget stage but the industry (home battery and EV DC and bidirectional) is all pretty new.

          • @Goremans: Just sharing that in the nine years we’ve had a PV + battery system the installer has come out twice to replace a failed micro inverter on the roof and zero times to do anything with the battery.

            The battery vendor has reached out to us twice in the same time period.

            We have had zero outages in that time.

      • Hi @Goremans Any thoughts on FoxESS batteries?

        • why would you ask them? They seem to think a battery needs servicing..

          With all these cheap batteries coming in, you need to ask yourself.
          1) how long is the warranty?
          2) will they be around for the warranty?

          The other one is the company. How long have & will they be around? Because mine went belly up 3yrs after I bought, I had an issue and the companies who were recommended by inverter company all wanted $300+ travel time to look.at it…oh & a 4-6wk wait.

          • @M00Cow: Nothing was said about servicing the battery, it's about after-install support as you found out

          • @M00Cow: The one that matter the most - How long will the company be around for. Thats really all that matters. Consumer watch dog is toothless. If the business is gone - who's going to help you with a broken system worth sometimes tens of thousands of dollars?

    • FYI- if you get two inverters you can pair them and get 10 KW. In the event of a off-grid situation, one invertor goes offline and goes into slave mode and ONLY 1x 5 KW inverter can only be used in backup. Usually only two circuits are installed for the backup. I know this as I was about to get it installed, but spent a bit more time researching.The system inside the Voltx is actually an AlphaESS; just different packaging…Still will suit most people and is a great price

      • Thank you kindly for your comment. What you’ve mentioned is mostly correct… in a dual inverter setup, one inverter does go into standby during backup mode.

        However, for the Alpha ESS systems, we’re not currently offering the dual inverter configuration under this deal.

        Cheers,
        David

        • Why is that?
          I'm after the dual set up, as I have a battery already installed.
          How would it work, not in a dual set up?
          Would I need to remove the current battery?

  • +6

    Can we get a deal for VIC

    • +2

      Not yet, we haven't launched into VIC yet.
      This offer is Sydney Metro only for now, and for a limited number of days.

      • +5

        Looking forward to your launch in Victoria as I need a solar and battery package before end of thia year.

      • +3

        Can't wait till you launch in Vic. We need more competition here.

      • Very interested when this offer once its available here in vic.

  • +8

    is this even legit lol, I have had quotes (albeit WA) 50kw battery would be $5000 with an extra 0….

    • +6

      The pricing is only possible under the Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program. It’s a genuine offer, just limited in volume and geography.

      Cheers,
      David

      • +2

        So it doesn't include panels, just inverter and battery? can I use my own inverter and get reduced price?

        • Answer this for me too please.

        • @RTX9090Ti & @Tambani
          We can add on panels if needed, however the deal does not include solar.
          Unfortunately, you cannot use your own inverter. The inverter is matched to the battery, and unless you have the same brand, this won't integrate.
          Cheers,
          David

          • @VoltX Energy: So, I always have solar and a 3kw inverter. How would the battery's inverter work with this?

  • -8

    I think the OP meant 5KWH battery

    • +2

      Its not a typo :D
      Please refer to our previous offer, just sharper pricing under the new program and reduced battery costs, plus a strong requirement to fill out installation spots:

    Any updates on timelines for SA installs?
    Told approx october originally, no updates since and phones ring out…

    • We’re doing a large number of installs each day, so it’s difficult to comment on your specific order as timing depends on where you are in the queue. We’ve been adding more teams to speed things up, and we should be close to your install window now. Thanks for your patience while we ramp up capacity.
      Cheers,
      David

  • We had already like 2/3 similar deals on Chinese batteries (e.g. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/925016). They are cheap because they use the federal rebate. But nobody knows how they will live in time or support if any issue. The company installing it may be long gone by then. But it's cheap.

    • That’s fair — there have been a few short-term operators lately. VoltX Energy isn’t one of them; we’re an established Australian company that also installs and supports Voltx-branded systems nationwide. The Neovolt units use Tier-1 LFP cells with full 10-year parts and labour warranty, handled directly by us, not a third party. – Michael from VoltX Energy

      • What does Tier-1 mean?

  • Any additional costs and complications hooking this into existing solar?

    • +1

      Good question.
      This is actually our most common type of install.
      For most standard setups, there are no extra cost. The system is AC-coupled, so it connects to your existing using a smart meter for load control. Extra costs only apply if your switchboard needs upgrades or your layout makes cable runs unusually long.

      • +7

        Please be careful and get a confirmed quote from neovolt. I got bitten here as they smartly hid in small letters “extra charge will be included for wiring “ . For me they added a charge of $500 onto the final invoice. Despite the neovolt sales rep never mentioning this charge in my discussions ever.

    • Look out for bollards, smoke detectors, fire sheeting, a concrete base etc…

      • And mounting brackets

  • +5

    Im waiting for install from the previous deal. The sales reps get quite slow to respond once you have done a deposit.

    • -3

      That’s a fair comment, but its definitely not intentional. We’ve been tightening the process so updates don’t go missing, but posts like this one trigger a huge wave of inquiries, so some delays are likely. We’re doing our best to get everyone scheduled as quickly as possible.

      • +13

        Logic would suggest taking care of your current customers rather then posting another deal??

        • +1

          but that won't top up the back balance.

        • @icecold27

          I totally agree with you on focusing on our existing customers, and we are. We’re completing a large number of installs every day across all regions and are already running at full capacity outside Sydney. This post is just a short-term Sydney Metro offer and doesn’t impact existing orders in other areas.

          Cheers,
