Why Alpha ESS is Australia’s most trusted home battery
Alpha ESS is Australia’s most widely installed home battery brand, with more than 50,000 systems in homes and businesses across the country. The company has been operating in Australia since 2015 and has a dedicated local support team based in Sydney.
Ranked number one in Australia
Alpha ESS was ranked the number one battery storage brand by installation volume in Australia by SunWiz. With over a decade of operation in the local market, you are choosing a brand with a demonstrated history of supporting Australian homeowners.
Built for Australian conditions
All Alpha ESS systems use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chemistry, known for stability, long cycle life and safety. Canberra’s cold winters and hot summers make reliable chemistry particularly important. The batteries are modular and expandable, so you can add capacity as your energy needs grow.
10-year warranty
Alpha ESS provides a 10-year product and performance warranty, guaranteeing the battery will retain at least 80% of its usable capacity over the warranty period. IES coordinates all warranty claims directly with the manufacturer on your behalf.
Local support
Alpha ESS has been operating in Australia since 2015 with a dedicated local support team. You are backed by both the manufacturer and your installer throughout the life of your system.

Commercial-grade expertise for your home
IES is an energy engineering firm with deep experience in commercial and government battery projects. We bring that same standard of expertise to every residential installation, applying commercial-grade discipline to homes across Canberra and the ACT.
Battery specialists, not generalists
We focus exclusively on battery storage systems. That means deeper product knowledge, better system design and installation quality you can rely on. Alpha ESS is our primary residential product because we believe it is the best system available for most Australian homes.
Transparent pricing, no surprises
Every package includes the battery system, inverter, professional installation by CEC accredited electricians, all wiring and equipment, grid connection, council approvals, monitoring app setup and full warranty coverage. The price you see is the price you pay.
Government incentives for Canberra homeowners
ACT homeowners can access federal incentives to reduce the upfront cost of a home battery.
Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program
The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides a rebate on eligible battery systems. This rebate is applied at the point of purchase and is already included in the package prices shown on this page. You do not need to apply separately – IES handles all the paperwork on your behalf.
The rebate reduces at regular intervals as more batteries are installed nationally, so acting sooner means a greater saving.

We also install Esy Sun battery systems, which feature an all-in-one integrated design with AI-driven energy management. If you are still comparing options, take a look at our Esy Sun packages or complete a free assessment and we will recommend the best system for your home.

Common questions about Alpha ESS
What is included in the package price?
Every package includes the Alpha ESS battery system, inverter(s), professional installation by CEC accredited electricians, all wiring and equipment, grid connection, system commissioning, monitoring app setup and warranty coverage. There are no hidden costs.
How do I know which Alpha ESS package is right for my home?
The Solar Saver 5/15 suits smaller households or those looking for an entry-level system. The Battery Max 5/27.9 is our most popular package and is ideal for 3-4 bedroom homes with moderate to high energy usage. Our free online assessment will help determine which package delivers the best return for your situation.
What government rebates are available?
The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides a discount of approximately 30% on eligible battery systems. This is applied at the time of purchase by your installer through Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs).
You do not need to apply separately. The rebate applies to systems between 5kWh and 50kWh of usable capacity. Note that the rebate amount steps down over time, so acting sooner means a larger discount.
We handle all the rebate paperwork on your behalf. Additional state based incentives may also be available depending on your location. Speak with our consultants to check what rebates apply in your area.
Do I need existing solar panels?
Yes, a battery system needs to be paired with a new or existing solar PV system to be eligible for the government rebate and to deliver the best value. If you do not have solar yet, we can discuss options during your assessment.
Will the battery keep my home powered during a blackout?
Yes. Alpha ESS systems offer blackout backup capability. During a grid outage, the system automatically switches to battery power to keep your essential circuits running. The specific circuits covered will be discussed during your assessment.
Can I expand my Alpha ESS system later?
Yes. Alpha ESS systems are modular and designed for expansion. If your energy needs grow or you add an electric vehicle, additional battery capacity can be added to your existing system.
What does the online assessment include?
We’ll ask a few questions about your property, your current solar setup (if any), and your electricity usage. We may also request a few photos of your switchboard and the proposed installation area to help us understand your setup.
Our specialist will then conduct an online energy assessment including a switchboard safety review, load analysis (comparing your daytime and night-time energy use), battery location planning, backup circuits discussion, and solar compatibility check.
You will then receive a personalised system recommendation with a fixed price, so you know exactly what your installation will involve before proceeding.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in a single day. After installation, we test and commission the system, set up your monitoring app and handle all grid connection paperwork.
