AMPAURA AUSTRALIA
About

An Adelaide business, in a market that mostly answers from overseas

Ampaura Australia supplies commercial and industrial battery storage, the software that designs it and the software that runs it. The engineering happens here and so does the phone. When something goes wrong on a Friday afternoon, the person who picks up knows your system.

Why we exist

Most suppliers hand you a battery and a manual

Commercial storage goes wrong in the gap between the sale and the savings. The battery arrives, it gets installed, and a year later nobody can tell you whether it earned what the proposal said it would. We built the business to close that gap, with the design software, the hardware and the operating software all coming from one accountable supplier.

Support is Australian, in Australian hours, by people who know the product
Our purpose

We exist to make our installers successful.

Everything else follows from that sentence. It's why we don't install or compete for your job, why we built Designer instead of handing you a spreadsheet, and why there's an electrical engineer and a qualified electrician you can ring.

Our values

What we want to be known for

These are the things we'd like customers, installers and partners to say about us when we're not in the room.

  1. The kind of people you want on site

    We turn up prepared and we understand the realities of being an installer. We're practical and easy to work with, and we don't tolerate ego or poor behaviour, in ourselves or anyone we bring to a job.

  2. Built for installers

    We're on the installer's side. We work as one team on a job, remove friction where we find it, and make decisions with the installer's success in mind.

  3. We listen and act

    We ask for feedback and we do something with it. We stay close to our installers, respond quickly, and change how we work when they tell us something isn't working.

  4. Accountable

    We're clear about what we've committed to and we follow through. When something doesn't go to plan, we own it and fix it.

  5. Open about where things are at

    We don't pretend. We tell you where a job or a product is at, and we keep improving based on what happens in the field.
