7 April 2025, Tomago, Australia – In a landmark move for Australia’s energy future, Energy Renaissance and Australia’s national science agency – CSIRO, have joined forces to create the superHome™ – Australia’s most advanced cybersecure residential battery.
Combining CSIRO’s cutting-edge research with Energy Renaissance’s advanced manufacturing, this battery is designed to meet Australia’s unique energy needs. The superHome™ will play a key role in securing the country’s energy future, supporting local jobs, and safeguarding Australian households from growing cyber threats to energy systems.
“The superHome™ isn’t just another battery – it’s Australian innovation securing our energy future,” said Brian Craighead, Managing Director of Energy Renaissance. “By manufacturing locally and incorporating CSIRO’s cutting-edge cybersecurity technology, we’re creating jobs while delivering the world’s most secure residential battery system.”
CSIRO’s Director of Manufacturing, Dr Marcus Zipper, emphasised the partnership’s national significance: “This collaboration showcases Australian science solving Australian challenges. The superHome™ will be built on the superBMS™ technology, which was developed by CSIRO to set a new global standard for battery management systems,” Dr Zipper said. “This partnership aims to develop an Australian innovation and support Australia’s transition to a clean energy future.”
Revolutionary features of the superHome™
Australian-Made Excellence: Designed, manufactured, serviced and supported locally, ensuring help when you need it and security of supply
Australian Compliance Ready: Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved to latest 2025 requirements
Complete Integration: Built-in hybrid inverter with compliant DC isolators eliminates the need for additional hardware
Enhanced Solar Capacity: Supports 200% solar oversizing for maximum energy harvest
Intelligent Power Management: Integrated metering and monitoring with built-in current transformers for precise energy control
Automatic Backup Power: Seamless backup capability during a power outage including direct EV charging without requiring extra devices
Flexible Power: Modular design scaling from 10.24 kWh to 60 kWh meets diverse household needs
Grid-Ready: Full Virtual Power Plant (VPP) compatibility enables energy trading and grid optimisation giving residential battery owners the power to save money and help stabilise the grid
Strengthening Australia’s energy security
The partnership addresses critical national priorities:
A call for policy support from Energy Renaissance and Beyond Zero Emissions
As global supply chains face increasing disruption and rising energy costs continue to drive up the cost of living, supporting Australian-made energy solutions becomes crucial. Federal and state governments are urged to consider incentive programs prioritising domestically manufactured products like the superHome™, ensuring Australia maintains sovereign capability in critical energy technology.
Beyond Zero Emissions CEO Heidi Lee supports this innovative development: “This is a great example of Australian innovation at work, helping families get the most from their rooftop solar while creating local jobs. Our research shows that integrating batteries with renewable energy can lower the cost of energy and support local industries. To make batteries more affordable, we propose including them in the Small Scale Renewable Energy Scheme and using Production Tax Credits to support the growth of Australia’s battery manufacturing sector.”
The superHome™ will be available nationwide through authorised installers later this year. Visit our website to learn more about the superHome™ and register your interest for early access.
