The Karri system features a comprehensive design, incorporating an air-conditioning unit for effective thermal management and safe operation. Encased in a marine-grade aluminum IP65-rated enclosure, measuring 1,400 mm x 700 mm x 600 mm, it is built to endure Australia’s challenging environmental conditions. Pre-wired components simplify installation, and the system includes a 10-year warranty with optional 24/7 remote safety monitoring. It supports virtual power plants (VPP) and offers blackout protection, enhancing energy reliability for users.
Massoud Abshar, Managing Director of Magellan Power, highlighted the system’s tailored design: “We have developed a premium product, designed in-house with proprietary technology and equipped with world-class safety features and high-quality Australian manufacturing. Karri delivers trusted, high-quality energy storage for homes nationwide.” Manufactured at Magellan’s Perth facility, the system uses battery cells from Sungrow, a Chinese manufacturer, and its design allows for future battery interchangeability as technology evolves.
The Karri system includes the Karri App, enabling real-time monitoring of energy generation, battery levels, and system performance. Available in white, seafoam, and black with customizable lighting indicators, it blends functionality with aesthetic appeal. Pricing and availability details are forthcoming, with inquiries accepted through Magellan’s website.
The launch aligns with Australia’s upcoming Cheaper Home Batteries Program, set to begin in mid-2025, offering rebates of approximately $370 per kWh of usable capacity for eligible households installing battery storage systems. This initiative encourages the adoption of renewable energy solutions like the Karri system, supporting sustainable energy practices.
