AlphaESS and OSW Celebrate 10 Years of Partnership in Australia as SMILE-M10 and AlphaQ Debut

Recently, AlphaESS joined its strategic partner OSW in Sydney for a "10-Year Craft Beer Night", bringing together local installers, industry guests, and media representatives to celebrate a decade of partnership in Australia.

Over the past decade, Australia's residential energy storage market has evolved through multiple policy shifts, growing from an emerging segment into one of the world's most active home battery markets. During this time, AlphaESS and OSW have worked side by side in the local market. Building on OSW's established distribution network, the partnership has expanded across product iteration, local service support, and market development, enabling AlphaESS to deliver reliable and well-adapted energy storage solutions for Australian households.
At the event, representatives from AlphaESS and OSW reflected on the partnership and shared their outlook for the next stage of growth. The discussion focused on product reliability, local service, Virtual Power Plant (VPP) opportunities, and closer collaboration with channel partners across Australia.

Responding to Australia's New Home Battery Policy
As Australia's "Cheaper Home Batteries" program enters a new stage, household energy storage decisions are becoming more value-driven. For homeowners, the focus is moving beyond subsidy access alone toward long-term savings, higher self-consumption, lifecycle cost, and the potential value created through VPP participation.

Against this backdrop, AlphaESS introduced the new-generation SMILE-M10 residential energy storage system at the event. Designed for Australian households, the system features a modular structure, compact installation, 200% PV oversizing, multi-MPPT shadow scanning, and compatibility with multiple mainstream VPP platforms.

Safety remains a key part of the system design. The SMILE-M10 is equipped with an aerosol fire suppression barrier, adding another layer of protection for residential users while supporting more efficient energy use at home.
Introducing AlphaQ for Smarter Home Energy Management
Also presented at the event was AlphaQ, AlphaESS' s AI-powered energy management assistant embedded into the energy storage system. Without requiring an additional app or complex setup, AlphaQ can help optimize household energy use based on weather forecasts, user consumption habits, and system operating status.

By supporting smarter charging and discharging strategies, AlphaQ is designed to improve household energy efficiency and help users capture greater long-term value from their residential storage systems.
A Local Celebration with Partners
The evening also brought a relaxed and local touch to the celebration. A limited-edition anniversary craft beer was created for the event, while a "10" ice sculpture ceremony marked the partnership milestone. A highlight of the night was the "48-second beer tower challenge"—a lighthearted nod to AlphaESS's industry-leading 48-hour after-sales service response commitment across Australia.
The 10-year partnership between AlphaESS and OSW reflects more than a business relationship. It represents a shared commitment to supporting Australia's clean energy transition through reliable products, local service, and long-term collaboration with installers and channel partners.
Looking ahead, AlphaESS will continue to strengthen its residential energy storage solutions, expand localized support, and work closely with OSW and local partners to help more Australian households improve renewable energy usage and build a smarter, more sustainable energy future.
