Congratulations to Rod and Ken Scott on receiving the SEIA VIC Life Contribution Award.

Long before battery rebates, virtual power plants and mainstream energy storage, there were individuals helping make renewable energy practical, reliable and accessible across Australia.

For more than 60 years, Rod, Ken and the team at Selectronic have played an important role in that journey – supporting installers, investing in Australian manufacturing and helping develop technologies that continue to power homes, businesses and communities today.

The award recognises not only the contribution of Rod and Ken, but also the impact Selectronic has had on the growth and evolution of Australia’s renewable energy industry.

A well-deserved recognition for two people who have helped shape the industry that many of us work in today.

Great news for commercial and industrial energy storage projects.

The SelectCell River Gum 120 battery platform is now officially listed on the Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved battery list.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the SP PRO 120V platform, River Gum 120 delivers a scalable high-voltage storage solution engineered for demanding Australian applications.

• 140.8V nominal per tower
• 166A continuous current
• Scalable up to 1.41MWh
• IP65 enclosure
• >6,000 cycle life

Built for commercial, agricultural, remote and decentralised energy systems.

This marks an important milestone for the River Gum 120 platform and opens the door to even more large-scale storage projects across Australia.

Tomorrow’s SEIA Installers’ Meeting in North Haven will be the final session in this year’s series.

Selectronic CEO Rod Scott and Sales Engineer Jeevan Ampiyil will both be attending tomorrow’s session.

We’ll be discussing current and upcoming projects, larger commercial and agricultural systems, the direction of 120V battery platforms, SelectCell River Gum 120, and the new SelectSafe platform.

Come say hello to the team if you’re attending tomorrow’s event.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

As last year’s recipient of the Smart Energy Manufacturing Excellence Award, we understand the level of work, consistency, and commitment required to be recognised at this level.

It’s good to see a strong group of finalists this year, reflecting the capability of manufacturing across Australia’s energy sector.

Congratulations to Tindo Solar, PowerPlus Energy, and all other finalists.

Wishing you the best for tomorrow night.

𝗪𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 – 𝗔 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Today at the SEIA Installers’ Meeting in Wolli Creek, one theme kept coming up in conversations with installers:

𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅.

As installations move beyond traditional residential scale, 48V battery architectures begin to introduce practical limitations — higher currents, heavier cabling and increasing system complexity.

Through system development and field experience, Selectronic developed a purpose-designed 120V architecture for larger installations.

The result is SelectCell River Gum 120, designed to integrate seamlessly with the SP PRO 120V platform.

• 140.8V nominal per tower
• 166A continuous current
• Scalable up to 1.41MWh
• IP65 enclosure
• >6,000 cycle life

Built for commercial, agricultural, remote and decentralised energy systems.

Energy storage systems are becoming larger and more complex across residential, commercial and off-grid installations. As system sizes grow, questions around architecture, integration and long-term reliability become increasingly important.

The Brisbane and Townsville SEIA Installers’ Meetings have now taken place, with the Selectronic team engaging directly with installers and system designers.

While attendance in Townsville was smaller than in Brisbane, the discussions remained highly valuable. Some of the key topics included:

• Queensland Dynamic Connections (MSO)
• Electricity tariff structures and their impact on system design
• Opportunities and challenges around VPP and CER participation

These conversations highlight how quickly the industry is evolving and why systems need to be designed for reliability as complexity increases.

For over 50 years, Selectronic has worked closely with installers to solve real system challenges. Meetings like these remain an important part of that ongoing conversation.

𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗘𝗜𝗔 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀

• 13 March – Wolli Creek, NSW
• 10 April – Launceston, TAS
• 17 April – Wembley Downs, WA
• 15 May – North Haven, SA

If you’re attending one of these meetings, we look forward to connecting and discussing your current projects.

Monbulk RSL shows community resilience in action!

When the devastating 2021 storms tore through Victoria, Monbulk was hit hard. Trees down, roads cut off, homes damaged, and power out for weeks.

In that darkness the Monbulk RSL became a lifeline, with hundreds of locals coming through its doors each day seeking safety, warmth and support.

The experience made one thing clear: the community needed a way to stay connected and powered when disaster struck again.

Craig Vandenberg, fourth-generation local and Emergency Management Team Leader, shares the story of Monbulk RSL and how having a battery storage system helps disaster-proof the community.

The Monbulk RSL installation was supported by the Victorian Government through the Energy Resilience Solutions program.
