Founded in Konstanz, Germany, in 2015. More than 200 patents behind the platform, with over 500 employees and nine subsidiaries worldwide.

Engineered in Konstanz, Germany

Founded in Konstanz in 2015, RCT Power engineers the platform in Germany and manufactures across Germany, Malaysia and China. Ampaura Australia supplies and supports it here.

Manufacturing

Factories in Germany, Malaysia and China, with 40 GWh of planned capacity. Certified to ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001, and TUV Zero Carbon.

Recognition

Nine-time winner of the HTW Berlin Storage Inspection, six of them consecutive, and a four-time EUPD Top Brand, alongside BloombergNEF Tier 1 listing.

In Australia

Already deployed here, at serious scale

The global numbers are reassuring. The Australian ones matter more, because they mean the product has already met our standards, our networks and our climate.

✓

IKEA Sydney, 1.17 MWh of storage

✓

Torrens Island, South Australia, 1.2 GWh

✓

920 MWh deployed across New South Wales

✓

Certified to AS/NZS 4777.2:2020 and IEC 62619 for Australian conditions

Systems are supplied and supported from our Adelaide base, with engineering, commissioning support and warranty handled locally rather than through an overseas support queue. The grid-scale projects listed here were delivered by others. Ampaura's part is supplying and supporting the same technology in Australia.

The home range

The RCT Power home system, as supplied in Australia

An RCT Power home system is three pieces: a hybrid inverter, a stackable LiFePO4 battery and a backup switch. Ampaura Australia is the exclusive Australian distribution partner for the home range. The specifications below are the configurations documented for the Australian market, not the global catalogue.

Hybrid inverter

RCT Power Storage DC

RHS-6K-H

Solar in, battery in, house out. One unit reads the array, charges the battery and runs the home, with three trackers so a split roof is not a problem.

Rated AC in and out	6,000 W
Max recommended PV	12,000 W
MPPT trackers	3
MPPT voltage range	90 to 580 V
Max efficiency	98.00%
Charge / discharge	11,000 W / 6,000 W
Protection	IP65
Operating range	-25 to +60 C
Size and weight	605 x 445 x 165 mm, 22 kg
Grid compliance	AS/NZS 4777.2:2020

Battery

RCT Power Battery

2.5 kWh modules, 5 to 60 kWh

Stackable LiFePO4 modules. Start at the size the household needs today and add modules later without replacing the inverter.

System capacity	5 to 60 kWh
Module size	2.5 kWh
Chemistry	LiFePO4
Cycles	More than 8,000 at 90% DoD
Nominal voltage	307 / 384 / 461 V at 10 / 12.5 / 15 kWh
Charge / discharge current	25 A / 25 A
Parallel clusters	Up to 4
Standby draw	Under 5 W
Installation	Floor standing, indoor or outdoor
Warranty	10 years

Backup

RCT Power Switch

RAL 8.0K-230G2

Without it, a blackout takes the solar down with the grid. With it, the battery keeps the nominated circuits alive and the array keeps charging.

Rated voltage	230 V
Phases	Single
Frequency	50 Hz
Operating range	-25 to +60 C
Installation	Wall mounted
Size and weight	450 x 350 x 110 mm, 6.2 kg
Warranty	10 years

Three phase homes and small business. A 10 kW and 15 kW three phase configuration is also documented for Australia. Ask us for the solution sheet and we will size it against your bills.
