Neovolt Home Battery System: Your Solution for Home Energy Storage

Battery storage systems, like the VoltX™ Neovolt, are rechargeable systems that store energy typically generated from solar panels in a battery pack. When using solar energy, the solar panels generate DC energy, which the solar inverter converts into AC energy. Excess energy is directed to the battery inverter, converted to a storable form, and stored in the battery bank for later use.

When using stored energy, the battery sends the stored energy through the battery inverter to power your home. The switchboard then directs the converted energy to your appliances. If the battery runs out of charge, the grid can kick in (for on-grid systems) for continuous electricity flow. The Neovolt system is designed for residential and commercial use, allowing for potential off-grid capabilities, backup power during outages, and reduced electricity bills.

Investing in a VoltX™ Neovolt system offers several benefits:

• Cost Savings: Reduces electricity bills by maximising the use of solar energy and decreasing reliance on the grid. You may also earn credits by exporting excess power to the grid (for on-grid systems).
• Energy Independence: Provides reliable backup power during outages, increasing energy independence.
• Maximises Solar Energy: Optimises the use of energy generated from solar panels.
• Protection from Price Hikes: Shields you from future electricity price increases.
• Grid Support: Supports the grid during periods of high stress.

• On-Grid Systems: These systems remain connected to the electrical grid. This ensures a continuous power supply, even when the battery is depleted or solar generation is low. Excess electricity can be sent back to the grid for compensation. While still connected to the grid, minimal electricity bills are still incurred. However, power outages may affect these systems unless they have a battery backup.
• Off-Grid Systems: These systems operate independently from the electrical grid, relying solely on solar energy and battery storage. They offer complete grid independence and no electricity bills but require careful planning to ensure sufficient energy generation and storage capacity.

Determining the correct size involves assessing your home's energy needs. You can:

• Calculate: List appliances, their wattage, and average daily run time to calculate daily energy consumption.
• Use an Online Calculator: Employ online energy calculators by inputting basic details about your home and appliances.
• Professional Audit: Have an electrician perform an energy audit to get a reliable assessment of your energy usage.

Knowing your average daily energy consumption is crucial in ensuring your storage system can run all electronic essentials and cover everyday energy requirements. VoltX Neovolt systems come in 5-10 kWh storage capacities, and multiple systems can be connected for increased storage.

Your VoltX Neovolt system supplier typically arranges the grid connection. The basic steps include:

• Mounting solar panels.
• Connecting the panels to a grid-active inverter (to convert DC to AC energy).
• Wiring the inverter to the circuit breaker.
• Connecting the inverter to the fuse box ensures that the generated power can reach all electrical zones in your home.

Important features include:

• Capacity: Sufficient capacity to meet your energy needs.
• Durability: Ability to withstand environmental factors, such as temperature variations.
• Battery Chemistry: Lithium batteries are considered the best type due to their performance, safety, and longevity. 
• Monitoring & Control: User-friendly systems with monitoring software or apps. The VoltX Neovolt can be monitored and controlled online through an app.
• Efficiency: High efficiency for more usable energy and savings (up to 97.3% max efficiency for the Neovolt AC Couple).
• Safety: Compliance with industry safety standards and certifications (AS IEC 62619).

Absolutely! Our VoltX Neovolt batteries are great for storing excess power from existing solar systems.

Yes, systems like the Neovolt are built to manage substantial loads and can keep essential home appliances running during power outages. Additional charges may be applied to access this feature. Please contact our team for information.

You can monitor your system in several ways:

• In-built Display Systems: Integrated displays on some systems provide information such as battery charge and voltage levels.
• Handheld Gadgets: Use laptops and mobile phones to display battery storage indicators through interactive interfaces or mobile apps, such as the Neovolt app.

The VoltX Neovolt battery has 8000 life cycles. One charge and one discharge equals one lifecycle, meaning the VoltX Neovolt has an expected lifespan of around 20 years.

Our batteries, including systems and parts, come with a 10-year warranty.

While Neovolt is a hybrid model with an in-built battery and inverter, our experienced installers can pair the system with your current inverter.

Verify that the system adheres to Australian Standards, such as AS IEC 62619, to ensure safety. Additionally:

• Ensure secure electrical wiring.
• Keep the battery away from heat sources.
• Check for gas vents and chemical leakages.
• Keep children and pets away from the system.
• Call emergency services immediately if the battery becomes hot or there is a fire/explosion.
