The VoltX™ Neovolt 9.6 kWh On-Grid Battery system is a smart way to get more out of the solar panels you already have. Most solar homes send a big share of their daytime generation back to the grid for a small feed-in tariff, then buy it back at a much higher rate after sunset.
The VoltX™ Neovolt closes that gap: it stores your excess solar during the day and makes it available at night, on cloudy days, and during expensive peak periods. If you want to cut energy costs and lean less on the grid, this is where a battery earns its keep.
What the VoltX™ Neovolt 9.6 kWh Actually Is
Before the benefits, the specs matter. The VoltX™ Neovolt is a modular home battery built on lithium iron phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) chemistry—the safest and longest-lasting mainstream battery chemistry, which is why it carries a 10,000-cycle rating and a 10-year warranty. Each base module delivers 9.6 kWh of usable capacity, and the system is stackable, so you can add modules as your household’s needs grow rather than replacing the unit.
It’s an all-in-one hybrid system, meaning the battery inverter is built in—you don’t need to buy a separate inverter—and it’s designed primarily for single-phase homes, which covers most Australian households, but three-phase configurations are also available. With up to 98.4% max efficiency, very little of your stored solar is lost between charging and use.
Who is it best for? Homes with an existing or planned solar system that already export surplus to the grid, typical single-phase households wanting to shift daytime solar into the evening peak, and anyone planning to expand storage over time. If your goal is blackout protection specifically, read the backup note below—that’s a configuration choice, not a default.
Efficient Solar Energy Storage That Pays Off
Solar’s core challenge is timing: your panels produce most at midday, but your household uses most in the morning and evening. Without storage, that midday surplus is exported cheaply and bought back expensively.
The VoltX™ Neovolt captures that surplus and releases it when you actually need it—at night, during cloudy stretches, or during peak-price windows—so far less of your solar goes to waste and far less of your evening usage comes from the grid. It’s also a key part of lowering your home’s environmental impact, not just your bills.
The value comes from shifting stored solar into the evening peak, when grid electricity is more expensive, rather than exporting it for a low feed-in tariff—which is where the real savings on your energy bills come from. Combined with the current federal battery rebate, that’s what drives the payback period on a system like this.
Smart Energy Management
The VoltX™ Neovolt is more than just storage. It decides when to store and release energy for you. Through the app, you can monitor generation, storage, and consumption in real time and see when it’s most cost-effective to draw on solar rather than the grid.
In the background, the system automatically charges from your surplus solar and discharges during peak-rate periods based on your household’s patterns, so you capture the savings without micromanaging it. This is the single feature that turns “having a battery” into “lowering your bills.”
Battery Backup During Blackouts
The VoltX™ Neovolt can keep essential circuits running during a grid outage—lights, the fridge, Wi-Fi, medical or security equipment—so a blackout doesn’t leave your home dark. It’s one of the key benefits of the system for many households.
One important caveat: backup is not part of a standard installation. A standard unit stores solar and lowers power bills, but running your home during an outage requires backup hardware (such as an automatic changeover device) added to the system, which carries an additional cost. If uninterrupted power through blackouts is a priority for you, tell your installer upfront so the system is quoted as backup-capable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the usable capacity of the VoltX™ Neovolt 9.6 kWh battery?
Each module provides 9.6 kWh of usable capacity. Because it’s modular and stackable, you can combine modules for greater storage and expand later as your energy needs grow.
What battery chemistry does VoltX™ Neovolt use, and how long does it last?
It uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) chemistry, valued for its safety and longevity. It’s rated for 10,000 cycles and backed by a 10-year warranty.
Do I need a separate inverter, and will it work with my existing solar?
No separate inverter is needed. The VoltX™ Neovolt is an all-in-one system with the inverter built in, and it’s designed to work alongside existing solar setups. Compatibility depends on your current system, so it’s best to confirm details with a VoltX Energy expert during your call.
How much could the VoltX™ Neovolt save me?
Savings come mainly from using stored solar during expensive peak periods instead of buying from the grid. The exact figure depends on your tariff, solar size, and usage, and the federal battery rebate can also reduce the upfront cost. For an accurate projection, you may request a personalised quote based on your electricity bill.
Does the VoltX™ Neovolt provide backup power during a blackout?
It can, but backup is an add-on rather than a standard feature. Running your home during an outage requires additional backup hardware at extra cost, so let your advisor know if blackout protection is a priority so your system is configured for it.
