Company Info
Founded in 2015, GenZ started out supplying battery systems for the mining industry and for other industrial off-grid applications. It then moved into energy storage solutions for residential and commercial purposes; both on- and off-grid. GenZ says tens of thousands of its batteries are in use around Australia.
The company is based in Western Australia, with its main facility in Malaga; which is approximately 11 kilometres north of Perth's CBD.
GenZ Batteries
GenZ offers a 3 kWh rack-mounted battery (GC48V-060LFP-2RU Series III) with a useable storage capacity of 2.7kWh per module, and has a maximum power output of 3kW. Designed and engineered in Australia (but manufactured in China), this 48V battery uses Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) chemistry, which is safer and more durable than other common chemistry types.
Speaking of safety and durability, each genZ battery module has a built-in Battery Management System (BMS), which also helps to ensure longevity. If there's an issue, the BMS will kick in, automatically resetting once the condition clears.
As for inverter compatibility, GenZ batteries will work with any model with the the right charging parameters to suit the self managed lithium module. They have wide operating temperature limit ranges and can charge from 0° to 55°C and discharge discharge -20° to 60°C.
3 kWh storage capacity isn't much, but this is a modular system expandable to a whopping 1MWh. If you need that sort of storage for your home, the police would probably take an interesting in what you're doing.
Some further details of the GenZ battery can be found on this comparison table that compares solar batteries currently available in Australia. We're confident enough in genZ that the company is also currently listed on the SQ approved battery brands chart.
Warranty Info
GenZ modules are warranted for a period of up to ten years or up to 10,000 cycles on a pro-rated basis (whichever comes first). GenZ says the warranty does not cover installation, removal, shipping or re-installation.
If you experience an issue with your GenZ battery, the first person to contact is your installer. But if that doesn't work out, try contacting the company's head office; the details of which are noted above.
