PowerPlus Energy Launches Eco4847P with 17.5% More Capacity, Whispr-7 Gains Early Traction

Government Rebates Spark New Growth for PowerPlus Energy

PPK Group Limited has provided an encouraging update on its majority-owned subsidiary, PowerPlus Energy (PPE), highlighting the launch of two new battery products that align with the Australian Government’s recently introduced Cheaper Home Batteries Program. This federal initiative, which began on 1 July 2025, offers rebates to homeowners and installers for certified energy storage systems, aiming to accelerate battery adoption in a market where only 1 in 40 households currently have battery storage despite widespread rooftop solar penetration.

Innovative Products Meet High Standards

PowerPlus Energy’s Eco4847P modular lithium battery has secured Clean Energy Council (CEC) approval, a critical endorsement that certifies the product meets stringent safety, quality, and performance standards. The Eco4847P delivers a notable 17.5% increase in capacity compared to its predecessor while maintaining a compact two-rack unit size, making it an attractive option for both residential and small commercial applications. Alongside this, the Whispr-7, a stackable all-in-one residential solution featuring world-leading CATL battery cells and a silent running inverter, has also been CEC-listed and rebate-eligible. Early market response to the Whispr-7 has been positive, with installations already underway.

Expanding Beyond Residential Markets

Beyond the rebate program, PPE is innovating in the utilities and telecommunications sectors through an exclusive partnership with RFI Technology Solutions. Together, they have developed the LiNET4835 battery, designed to replace aging lead-acid batteries that provide critical backup power. This collaboration has already yielded early sales success, with installations in rural New South Wales and Queensland and over 500kWh of LiNET4835 batteries dispatched. A multi-channel marketing campaign is underway to build momentum in these sectors, signaling PPE’s ambition to diversify its revenue streams and deepen its market footprint.

Positioned for a Growing Market

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program unlocks a market opportunity estimated at over one million batteries between 2025 and 2030. With strong product credentials, government backing, and strategic partnerships, PowerPlus Energy is well positioned to capture a meaningful share of this expanding market. The company’s ability to innovate and adapt its offerings for different sectors could prove a key differentiator as competition intensifies.

Investors and industry watchers will be keen to monitor how quickly the rebate program drives consumer uptake and how PPE’s sales translate into financial performance in the coming quarters.
