Chinese-headquartered lithium-ion battery maker GSL Energy has launched its 14.34kWh wall-mounted and floor-standing batteries for the Australian residential energy storage market.
The company said the new battery can support up to 16 units in parallel, with a total expanded capacity exceeding 220kWh.
It has an operating temperature range of -20℃ to +55℃, with a storage temperature range from -20℃ to +45℃.
The battery has a 0.5C charge/discharge rate and its cells provide 8,500+ cycles for long-term stable performance. It also is IP-65-rated with a compact design.
It will be qualifiable for subsidies under the cheaper home batteries program as an energy storage system listed by the Clean Energy Council (CEC).
This means that households, businesses and community organisations can receive up to $247.68 (AUD 372) per KWh of usable battery capacity. This increases with the battery’s depth of discharge (DoD) – the higher the DoD, the greater the rebate.
The company’s CEC-listed storage batteries support up to 95% DoD, which it said maximises both the usable energy and rebate benefits for households and organisations.
GSL Energy specialises in residential, commercial and industrial energy storage solutions, with products exported to 138 countries globally.
Jim Deng, founder, GSL Energy, said, “Australia’s home battery rebate programmes are accelerating the adoption of residential energy storage. Our 14.34kWh wall-mounted and floor-standing batteries provide safe, durable and cost-effective solutions that help Australian households increase solar self-consumption, reduce electricity bills, and achieve greater energy independence, supporting the country’s energy transition.”
