Finn's Alpha Technologies Inverters Review & Verdict

Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO

Alpha Technologies’ inverters are geared towards telecom applications – and as such, there are probably more suitable products from other companies that specialise in residential off-grid applications such as Selectronic and Victron.

This isn’t to say Alpha Technologies gear isn’t any good (I honestly don’t know), but it’s just a case of horses for courses.

Alpha Technologies Inverters: Pros & Cons

  • Long-established company
  • There are more relevant choices for residential off-grid power conversion solutions

About Alpha Technologies

Among other power-related kit, USA-based Alpha Technologies manufactures inverters - mainly for C&I applications. It shouldn't be confused with AlphaESS, which is a completely different company focused on home battery storage.

Company Info

An EnerySys company, Alpha Technology was founded in 1975, initially focusing on standby power solutions for cable television. Over the decades Alpha Technologies has acquired a number of other firms associated with power technologies and today it offers a broad range of related products, services, software and consulting.

Alpha Technologies Inverters

Alpha Technologies gear is widely used in cable television, communications and data networks worldwide. While its inverters that can be paired with solar are mainly used in telecom type applications, we guess there's some application for residential off-grid scenarios.

Warranty Information

We couldn't find any Australian warranty documentation for inverters on the Alpha Technologies website.

Quite a good online monitoring package. Started out with glitches but with tweaks by installer now works as designed.
Long term durability too early to tell. Looks good in place. Seems to be weatherproog.

Always going into fault every 6 to 8 weeks. Was taking about 2 weeks of calls, complaints etc to get action from Alpha. Even contacted the original installer and they have given up... Solar Power Nation are the seller/supplier and my latest fault am now getting automated emails saying this is in process with a no reply address...
