Australia is one of the world’s fastest-growing solar markets, with millions of households already relying on rooftop PV systems. Yet solar energy alone cannot deliver true independence without reliable storage. That’s where all-in-one energy storage systems (ESS) come in.
The SoFar PowerAll All-in-One ESS, now available at Solar Rains, combines a 5kW inverter with modular 15–30kWh lithium batteries in a seamless package. Designed for households and small businesses, this system provides a complete solution: generating, storing, and managing clean energy, all from one trusted brand.
Let’s explore how SoFar PowerAll makes solar smarter, safer, and more accessible for Australian users.
Why Choose an All-in-One Energy Storage System?
Traditional solar setups often require piecing together inverters, batteries, and monitoring devices from different manufacturers. This can lead to compatibility issues, complex wiring, and harder maintenance.
The SoFar PowerAll eliminates these pain points by integrating everything into one system. Benefits include:
- Lower electricity bills: store excess daytime solar power and use it at night.
- Seamless backup power: with a switchover time of less than 10ms, critical loads remain powered during blackouts.
- Easy installation: modular design makes transport and setup straightforward.
- Smart monitoring: manage everything via a single app with WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity.
- Future-ready: expandable storage up to 30.72kWh to meet growing household or business needs.
