"Australian energy storage manufacturer RedEarth Energy Storage has unveiled a
new all-in-one home battery system that is smaller, smarter and higher capacity
than its predecessor – and cost-competitive with top-selling overseas brands.
Brisbane-based RedEarth, which made its start in off-grid energy storage
solutions, hit the residential radar in Australia in 2021 when its Troppo
product became the first fully Australian designed and assembled home batteries
to get Clean Energy Council approval.
In 2024, federal energy minister Chris Bowen revealed that he had bought a
Troppo battery to support his home solar system after a visit to the company’s
stand at the 2023 Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition.
“I checked out their products closely,” Bowen told RenewEconomy at the time.
”And as a direct result of that visit, I now have one helping power our house
and supporting the grid very efficiently.”
For the last couple of years, RedEarth has been working hard to improve on the
Troppo, which it puts together in its Brisbane factory using cells made in
China.
The next generation Troppo Ultra is being reengineered to deliver a 40 per
cent increase in core capacity of 5.6 kWh per unit and comes with an
intelligent Battery Management System that makes it backwards compatible with
its predecessors.
The company is also rolling out one of Australia’s first bidirectional electric
vehicle chargers in partnership with German outfit Ambibox (read about that
here on
The Driven) and is working towards the rollout of a Microgrid in a
Box (MiB) product that will combine home storage and smart EV charging in one
unit."
