What it saves, who it suits, and an honest way to find out. Supplied, delivered and supported from Adelaide, and installed by accredited partners near you.
One thing runs through all three. Before anything is ordered, Designer models what your site is actually trying to achieve, whether that is energy independence, the lowest total bill, or protecting a demand charge. That objective is what Connect runs the site to after commissioning, and what AI Mode re-plans against every day. Two sites on the same tariff can be weighted differently, because they want different things.
That last step is the point: AI Mode keeps re-learning your site and adds at least 20% more savings, with real-world examples reaching as high as 46%. Every site is modelled individually before we give an estimated additional saving from AI Mode.
We supply and support; accredited installers do the site work. That is a feature, not a gap: you get a local installer who owns the job, and a supplier who never quotes behind them.
A commercial battery is an infrastructure asset that solves more than one problem at a time. Six jobs, one cabinet.
Your highest half hour of the month sets a fee you pay all month. The battery clips those peaks automatically, and demand charges can be 30% to 50% of a commercial bill.
How peak shaving works →Energy is most expensive in the late afternoon and evening. It is a short window, and the most expensive energy you buy all day. Store your energy and use it when the grid charges you most.
Switchover in 20 to 50 milliseconds depending on the system. The smarter part: the system watches the Bureau of Meteorology and fully charges ahead of a storm in your area.
If the network cannot give your site more power, a battery with solar can lift the energy available on site by up to 40%, without waiting for an upgrade.
Join a virtual power plant and turn electricity from a cost of business into something that can generate income.
A power purchase agreement means the system is funded and installed for you, and you simply pay a lower, fixed rate for the power it produces.
Wherever the load comes from, the problem looks the same on the bill. Here is where batteries are already earning their keep.
Production sets your peaks, and one bad afternoon prices the whole month.
Lower what you need from the grid with a solar and battery system. It will work for you 24 hours, just like your energy-hungry compressors.
Air conditioning and kitchens peak exactly when the tariff does.
Pumps and cool rooms spike exactly when the sun is at its harshest. Harvest time is exactly when a solar and battery system earns its keep.
Forklift charging and cold docks stack peaks on top of peaks.
If your bill has a demand charge, the pattern probably fits. Send us a bill and we will tell you straight.
Check my siteBatteries can't fix every problem. Don't let anyone tell you they can. Storage stacks up when a few things line up. Tick two or more:
Two or more and a load assessment is worth your time. We will help model your actual interval data, and if storage does not stack up on your load, we tell you before you spend a dollar.
Both paths start from the same load assessment, and both run on the same hardware and software.
Most C&I sites with meaningful demand charges land between 4.5 and 7.6 years, and incentives can pull that forward. The honest answer comes from your interval data, which is exactly what a load assessment models.
Yes. Rising costs and better incentives make this a sensible time to look at energy independence. From 1 September 2026 the NSW peak demand scheme covers commercial batteries, and Ampaura VAST is certified for BESS4 and the RCTerra range for BESS5. The changes to the STC system mean solar for businesses just got more affordable. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program also covers small businesses, though only the first 50 kWh of usable capacity is discounted. We will tell you exactly what your site qualifies for.
No. A battery cuts demand charges and shifts cheap tariff windows on its own. If you have solar, it works harder. If you are planning solar, doing both together usually designs better.
A 261 kWh cabinet has roughly the footprint of a double fridge and lives outdoors or in a plant area. Larger systems scale as additional cabinets or a container.
It gets better. Ampaura Connect monitors and controls the system for its whole life, AI Mode keeps re-learning your site, and support is a phone call to Adelaide, not a ticket queue overseas.
Send us what you can read off your bill and we will model your load, show you the numbers with their assumptions, and give you a straight answer. Same-day response on qualified enquiries.
