US headquartered SunPower has been around for a very long time - it was founded in 1985. Most of its history is associated with the production of high-end solar panels, but in more recent years the company has branched out into home batteries.
In Australia, the solar battery system to be on offer soon is the SunPower Reserve. It's an all-in-one system boasting blackout protection with seamless switchover. Reserve has 9.6kWh of usable capacity and a continuous power output rating of 5kW. Its cells are based on LFP/LiFEPO4 battery chemisty.
Warranty on the SunPower Reserve will be 10 years.
The Reserve is part of the SunPower One integrated home energy solution. The company says One goes beyond simple monitoring; learning over time about a homeowner’s electricity consumption patterns and making suggestions for further energy bill savings.
As for what's under the bonnet of the Reserve, another firm appears to be involved. According to a May 2022 announcement by Maxeon - which spun off from SunPower some time ago - it has teamed up with battery manufacturer Alpha ESS; leveraging AlphaESS's power conversion, energy storage and technology services know-how.
SunPower has always positioned itself as a premium brand, so expect to pay premium prices for the SunPower One home energy storage solution featuring Reserve. As for its performance in Australian conditions, it's a wait-and-see situation. Given SunPower's general reputation and pricing point for solar gear, expectations will be high.
And on that, if you buy a Reserve battery, consider leaving a review and let other Australians know how your system is faring.
