Australians are feeling the pinch of rising power bills, so the move to home batteries is happening faster than ever. Solar gets you halfway there. Storage takes you the full distance. Afore has become a standout in this space, delivering battery systems that focus on reliability, safety, and long-term value. With government support like the Cheaper Home Batteries Program easing upfront costs, now is a smart time to add storage that will keep saving you money for years.
Why Afore is worth paying attention to
Afore has built a reputation for producing storage systems that balance high performance with rock-solid safety. Their range offers homeowners a chance to take control of their energy use, protect themselves during blackouts, and shift away from expensive peak rates. For many households, the right battery can halve their grid dependence. Afore’s systems slot into this future nicely because they deliver strong output, modular expansion, and features that keep homes safe.
Afore all-in-one three-phase storage solution
The Afore All-in-One Three-Phase Energy Storage Solution is one of the most complete integrated systems on the Australian market. It combines a hybrid inverter, battery charger, monitoring system, wiring, and battery modules into a single pre-wired modular tower. This integrated approach can reduce installation time by up to half compared to traditional multi-component setups.
This HV system covers inverter outputs from 3-15 kW, making it suitable for large homes with heavy loads, workshops, or EV charging. Its high-voltage battery modules offer flexible capacity ranging from about 9.21 kWh to 23.04 kWh. Homeowners can size the system based on daily usage or scale up later as needs grow.
The enclosure is rated IP66, so it can be installed indoors or outdoors without concern for rain, dust, or coastal environments. This gives homeowners far more flexibility in placement, especially when space is limited.
A standout feature is its safety and backup performance. The system includes arc-fault protection, rapid shutdown compatibility, over-current and over-voltage protection, anti-islanding, surge protection, and insulation monitoring. It also provides UPS-level switching, with blackout switchover happening in roughly 10 milliseconds. This allows essential circuits to stay powered almost instantly during an outage.
For households with three-phase supply or those planning serious electrification, this system is a reliable, future-ready investment.
Afore stack-mounted residential ESS
For the majority of Australian households on single-phase supply, Afore’s Single Phase All-in-One system delivers the same clean design and protection features. It offers hybrid inverter sizes of 3-6 kW, making it perfect for typical homes.
Battery storage ranges from 5.12 kWh up to a generous 30.72 kWh, allowing everything from modest evening coverage to full-scale energy independence. The battery modules are modular and easy to expand. Homeowners can start with a single battery and add more over time without replacing the original unit.
Like the HV system, the LV model is IP66 rated for indoor or outdoor installation. It is engineered to handle Australian heat, storms, and coastal air. Its pre-wired modular design speeds up installation and reduces potential wiring mistakes, helping ensure long-term reliability.
Backup performance is another strong point. The inverter can briefly deliver up to 150 per cent overload, which is useful for short, sharp spikes from appliances such as pumps or compressors. It also offers near-instant UPS-style switching, so blackout support feels seamless.
This single-phase all-in-one system suits households wanting simplicity, safety, and room to grow.
Built for safety and long-term reliability
Afore places safety at the heart of its engineering. Both the single-phase and three-phase all-in-one solutions use lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are known for their stability, long cycle life, and heat resilience. LFP chemistry is the gold standard for residential energy storage, and it is an important reassurance for Australian homes.
Across the range, Afore includes essential protections such as arc-fault detection, rapid shutdown compatibility, over-current protection, over-voltage protection, anti-islanding, short-circuit protection, surge protection, and insulation monitoring. These systems keep the battery safe from both internal faults and external grid disturbances.
Their weatherproof IP66 enclosures mean the units are ready for garages, alfresco areas, side passages, and outdoor walls. They also feature intelligent energy management that prioritises solar use, shifts loads automatically, and reduces strain on the grid during peak evening periods.
Because the systems are pre-wired and modular, there are fewer connection points and fewer chances for installation failure. This helps ensure long-term durability and stable performance throughout the battery’s life.
Why now is the right time to choose Afore
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program means you can access generous financial support, making storage far more affordable. Incentives may not last forever, so acting now locks in the benefit. With electricity costs unlikely to drop any time soon, battery storage offers stable, long-term savings.
The flexibility of Afore’s range also gives you freedom. Start small with the stack-mounted ESS and grow as your lifestyle changes. Or choose the all-in-one system for the strongest performance and blackout protection. Both put you on the path to lower bills and greater energy independence.
A battery is not just a purchase. It shapes the way you live. It gives you resilience when the grid goes down, confidence during heatwaves, and comfort knowing your solar is working for you both day and night.
Cut your grid reliance
Afore brings dependable, scalable, and safe storage options to Australian homes. Their All-in-One Three Phase Solution is ideal for larger properties or households planning for EV charging and heavy energy loads. Their Stack-Mounted ESS offers a modular path to energy independence for smaller homes or newcomers to storage.
When paired with the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, the value becomes clear. You cut your grid reliance, protect your home, and invest in a system built for the long haul. For Australians looking to take charge of rising power costs, Afore is a very smart place to start.
