AlphaESS Celebrates a Decade of Commitment to Australian Energy Storage
AlphaESS celebrates over a decade of commitment to the Australian energy storage market, where it has been active since 2015. With local operations and an extensive partner network, AlphaESS offers residential and commercial battery storage systems, including the SMILE M10 and StaX M30/M50. The company will showcase its innovations at All Energy Australia on October 28 and 29.
AlphaESS, founded in 2012 in Nantong, China, has grown into a significant player in the energy storage sector since establishing its Australian operations in 2015. The company, which employs over 1,200 people globally and has deployed systems in more than 130 countries, considers Australia a crucial hub within its Asia-Pacific network.
AlphaESS's Australian operations, with locations in Homebush West (Sydney) and St Marys (Adelaide), include over 55 local specialists and a network of more than 80 partners. Its onshore technical and after-sales team is among the largest in the country, providing a local point of contact for installers and customers. AlphaESS joined South Australia's Home Battery Scheme in 2018, and its products are compatible with over 30 virtual power plant (VPP) programs. The residential product range is designed to align with Australia's battery rebate tiers.
New Products for Residential and Commercial Applications
For single-phase homes, AlphaESS offers the SMILE M10. This system combines a 10 kW hybrid inverter with 13.99 kWh battery modules, providing 13.99 to 27.98 kWh of usable storage capacity with a 100 percent depth of discharge. It features four MPPTs and supports up to 200 percent PV oversizing (20 kW of panels), suitable for larger rooftops and east-west arrays. The SMILE M10 is IP65-rated for both indoor and outdoor installation and is VPP-ready.
For commercial and industrial customers, the StaX M30 and M50 systems deliver 30 kW and 50 kW of output, with capacities ranging from 60.25 kWh to 216.9 kWh. The LFP battery is constructed from 12 kWh modules that can be stacked without tools or wiring, allowing businesses to expand storage capacity as needed. Up to six systems can be connected for larger sites. The StaX series is designed for straightforward installation, fits in a van, and the battery can be positioned up to 20 meters from the inverter. With an IP66 rating, built-in battery heating, and an operating temperature range of -20°C to 50°C, they are suitable for outdoor use. The system switches to backup mode rapidly.
Presence at All Energy Australia
AlphaESS will exhibit at All Energy Australia, held on October 28 and 29 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The company will be present at the One Stop Warehouse (OSW) and Energy Spurt stands. The partnership with OSW, a leading Australian solar distributor, spans over ten years and evolved into a global strategic cooperation agreement in 2025. On Wednesday, October 28, at 1:30 PM, AlphaESS will host a special event at the Energy Spurt stand. Additionally, AlphaESS is sponsoring the Clean Energy Council Masterclass sessions, where Technical Director Vincenzo Marciano will present in the Masterclass Theatre on Thursday, October 29, at 10:15 AM. Visitors can view the SMILE M10 and StaX range up close and engage with the local team regarding residential, commercial, and VPP projects.
