 ·18 Mar 2026

Founded in 2012, AlphaESS has expanded its business across more than 130 countries and regions, establishing itself as a global leader in energy storage solutions.

On 23 March 2026 in Johannesburg, AlphaESS will officially unveil its comprehensive Commercial & Industrial energy storage portfolio, designed to accelerate the transition of South Africa’s commercial sector towards smarter, more resilient, and more efficient energy systems.

The launch event will feature an exclusive product showcase, dedicated financial incentive programs for EPC partners, and a newly introduced EPC growth empowerment initiative.

Adding to the celebration, South African rugby legend John Smit will attend as a special guest to celebrate this milestone together with industry partners.

As businesses across South Africa increasingly seek reliable alternatives to an unstable grid supply or rising electricity costs, AlphaESS is introducing a robust C&I energy storage portfolio designed to meet the operational demands of every scale.

The newly launched portfolio covers a wide power range from 50 kW to 100 MW, delivering highly efficient energy management, enhanced safety, and reliable performance across diverse commercial and industrial applications.

Small Commercial Solutions:

The STORION Series offers all-in-one cabinet energy storage solutions ranging from 30 kW to 2 MW. Certified under UL Solutions, compliant with UL 9540A international safety standards, these systems deliver thermal management and safety control from cell level to module and full system level, ensuring stable and reliable long-term operation.

As the industry’s first 125 kW DC-coupled all-in-one C&I energy storage cabinet, STORION-LC-H125 offers lower initial installation costs and higher conversion efficiency compared with conventional AC-coupled PCS solutions, making project integration more commercially attractive.

The StaX Series introduces a stackable modular battery storage architecture. Its lightweight battery modules and compact stacking design enable flexible transportation and installation, adapting easily to a wide variety of commercial deployment environments.

Large Industrial Solutions:

The STORION-H500 Series provides modular cabinet-based solutions ranging from 500 kW to 2 MW, offering a clear alternative to conventional large containerized systems.

Faster logistics and simplified on-site deployment significantly reduce early-stage project costs and shorten delivery cycles.

Its battery cabinets are equipped with industry-leading active balancing and liquid cooling technologies, delivering higher efficiency, stronger safety performance, and long-term operational reliability.

By integrating these advanced storage systems with tailored financial solutions from local partners, AlphaESS is empowering businesses to transition to cleaner, smarter energy solutions in a seamless and commercially viable way.

To further strengthen localisation in South Africa, AlphaESS continues to implement its core strategies of service leadership and long-term commitment.

Drawing from successful market models established in key regions such as Germany and Australia, AlphaESS is building comprehensive local inventory capacity and dedicated technical support teams to ensure faster response and long-term service assurance.

To celebrate the commercial launch of these transformative solutions, AlphaESS will host an immersive and highly engaging product launch event.

Moving beyond conventional presentations, the evening will take the form of a vibrant Glow Party, combining interactive games and entertainment to present product advantages and energy solutions in a more engaging and memorable way.

Special guest John Smit will join the celebration, while a traditional Chinese face-changing performance will bring a distinctive cross-cultural highlight to the evening—symbolising the rapid adaptability of AlphaESS systems under dynamic grid conditions.

Premium lucky draw prizes will also be prepared for on-site participants.
