German engineering meets Australian energy needs with high-efficiency solar panels, hybrid inverters, and an intelligent battery storage system designed for VPP participation.

As Australia prepares for the launch of the $2.3 billion battery rebate scheme on 1 July 2025, 1Komma5° has unveiled a fully integrated residential energy ecosystem—featuring solar panels, a hybrid inverter, and an advanced battery storage solution optimized for virtual power plant (VPP) participation.

This system is designed to maximize household energy savings by engaging in multiple daily microcycles, allowing homeowners to buy low, sell high, and profit from wholesale energy market fluctuations.

Key Features of the 1Komma5° Energy Ecosystem

1. Full Black Double-Glass Solar Panels

• Power Output: Up to 450W

• Efficiency: 22.8% (TopCon technology)

• Warranty: 30-year product & performance warranty

• Aesthetic: Sleek black design for modern rooftops

2. Hybrid Inverter

• Capacity: 5-15 kW (single-phase & three-phase options)

• MPPTs: Up to 4 for enhanced solar harvesting

• Durability: IP65-rated enclosure (dust & water-resistant)

• Warranty: 12 years

3. Intelligent Battery Storage

• Capacity: Modular & stackable, up to 37.8 kWh

• Chemistry: Prismatic LFP cells (long lifespan, high safety)

• Power Output: 20.16 kW charge/discharge

• Cycles & Warranty: 7,000 cycles (vs. standard 4,000) with a 12-year warranty

• VPP-Ready: Optimized for wholesale market trading

• Backup Power: Built-in blackout protection

Why This System Stands Out?

Unlike conventional batteries that only store solar for self-use, the 1Komma5° system is built for active energy trading:

• Microcycles: Multiple daily charge/discharge cycles to capitalize on price fluctuations.

• VPP Integration: Connects to wholesale markets, selling excess energy when prices peak.

• Heartbeat Software: AI-driven energy management for optimal home consumption & grid interaction.

Australian Battery Rebate Scheme: What You Need to Know

Starting 1 July 2025, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program offers:

• Rebate: Up to $372 per kWh of usable battery capacity

• Eligibility: Systems between 5 kWh – 100 kWh (STCs only for first 50 kWh)

• VPP Requirement: On-grid systems must be VPP-capable

• Goal: 1 million+ new batteries by 2030

Final Thoughts

1Komma5°’s new ecosystem is a game-changer for Australian homeowners, combining German engineering with smart energy trading capabilities. With the upcoming rebates, now is the perfect time to invest in a future-proof solar + battery system that pays for itself.
