Empower: A different kind of solar-battery company
Smarter tech. Bigger savings. Total control. Empower helps Australians slash energy bills, reduce emissions, and take charge of their energy future — all from one intelligent system.
Australia’s smarter solar battery solution — helping households save 40%–380% more by pairing energy storage with the best electricity plan and full control via our all-in-one app.
The battery discharges during the highest prices and charges during the lowest prices, including negative prices, when solar PV is curtailed.
The smartest batteries able to control EV charging and water heating use electricity when it is lowest cost, including negative prices.
The Elektrobank 14 is the smartest, fastest and most agile solar battery in Australia:
The ElektroBank 14 generates electricity every day the sun shines, enough meet the annual needs of 95% of Australians – even when they transition to 100% electric appliances and vehicles. Excess solar PV generation is saved in the battery for later use, rather than being sent to the grid for peanuts.
When rain or heavy clouds are forecast and you are on a ToU or wholesale plan, the Elektrobank 14 charges when prices are lowest, to ensure it is full when prices are high.
When the sun goes down, the Elektrobank 14 uses stored solar PV to offset electricity usage. On a ToU or wholesale plan, it does this during the most expensive times. It’s smart enough to know to not charge flexible loads like an EV or electric water heater at night, unless prices are exceptionally low.
And when there is an outage, the Elektrobank powers backed-up circuits during the outage. It is able to recharge its batteries using excess solar PV generation, enabling it to run indefinitely depending on household electricity usage.
Optimizes 3rd-party EV charging and electric water heating. Just plug in any resistive water heater or compatible Level 2 charger — no extra setup needed.
Energy Queensland installed the EB7 at their lab to test it for their off-grid customers, where it passed all technical tests, but they went with a larger, 100 kWh solution.
Solar battery expert and found of Smart Energy Lab, Glen Morris, reviewed our product and interviewed our CTO.
I loved the all-in-one design, which was installed without external wires inside my garage. Works beautifully!
We have been operating in the Northern Beaches since 2009, and will continue to operate in Australia for the long term.
We promise exceptional levels of customer service, with all calls being answered or responded to within 24 hours by our Frenchs Forest based support team.
Our engineering, operations, customer service and administrative functions are all based in our head office in Frenchs Forest.
Our manufacturing partner is Australian owned with factories in Victoria and Malaysia. The ElektroBank 14 was manufactured in the Malaysian factory, with final assembly in Victoria.
Our first production product, the ElektroBank 7, was 100% made in NSW, and certified 100% Australian made, however it was too costly to compete in the Australian market.
We are constantly striving to identify a pathway back to making our products in Australia. We believe this can be done using innovative engineering and manufacturing methods.
Our vision is to produce an Australian made product that people prefer because it provides the best value for money, not just because it is Australian made, owned and supported.
Due to the high volume of enquiries, we are only able to respond to fully completed forms. Email bounces will be automatically removed from our system.
