All Energy Australia 2025: A new era in residential storage
Against the backdrop of Australia’s biggest clean energy showcase, Growatt’s presence at All Energy Australia 2025 captured significant attention. Crowds gathered around the company’s exhibit to explore its full range of solar and storage solutions – from residential hybrid inverters to commercial-scale systems.
The centrepiece of the showcase was the SPM8000-10000TL-HU, Growatt’s newest single-phase hybrid inverter. Engineered for maximum adaptability, ease of installation, and superior energy conversion, it establishes a new benchmark for Australian residential energy systems.
The system’s three Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) allow for seamless performance across rooftops with complex orientations or shading. With a 200 per cent direct current (DC)/alternating current (AC) ratio, it extracts maximum generation potential from every panel.
Dual battery ports, each supporting 40 kilowatt-hours (kWh), enable up to 80kWh of total storage, addressing the growing demand for longer-duration, self-sufficient power.
For installers, Growatt’s focus on simplicity and compatibility is evident. The SPM-HU supports both new and retrofit applications, and integrates with Growatt’s latest wireless meter gateway for faster setup and commissioning. Its modular design allows up to six parallel units (60kW/480kWh total), extending scalability for large homes or light-commercial operations.
“This is a system designed not just for performance, but for practicality. It’s a powerful yet simple single-phase hybrid solution tailored for Australian households, perfect for both new installations and system upgrades,” Ding said.
Empowering the energy transition
The launch arrives at a pivotal moment for Australia’s home energy market. With the Federal Government expanding its installation subsidy policies and household battery uptake on the rise, 2025 is shaping up as a defining year for residential storage growth.
Growatt’s long-standing presence in Australia positions it strongly to meet this demand. Its hybrid inverter and modular storage systems, designed with Australian installers in mind, are built to withstand local conditions and integrate seamlessly with smart home management platforms.
As CEO, Ding explains that the company’s success is inseparable from its purpose.
“At Growatt, we provide all-scenario solutions for global customers to decarbonise their ways of living. Our mission is to make sustainable energy accessible, reliable and intelligent,” Ding said.
The upcoming SPM8-10KTL-HU, currently under Clean Energy Council (CEC) listing and has been available in December 2025, builds on this mission. As a successor to the SPM-HU series, it continues Growatt’s pursuit of performance excellence and installer-focused design – further expanding its product ecosystem for Australian homes.
Driving innovation across every sector
Beyond residential applications, Growatt’s reach extends into commercial and industrial (C&I) markets, where it provides three-phase hybrid inverters and commercial battery systems to enable large-scale decarbonisation. Its intelligent monitoring platforms allow real-time performance tracking and predictive maintenance, which help asset owners optimise energy production and reduce costs.
“Additionally, our team continuously introduces new upgrades and innovations in energy efficiency, functional safety and intelligent solutions for inverter, storage and EV charging applications,” Ding said.
The company’s integrated ‘all-scenario ecosystem’ links together solar generation, energy storage, transportation electrification and smart consumption management – a blueprint for the interconnected clean energy systems of the future.
