Selectronic Australia

Selectronic Australia Australian made solutions for renewable energy storage systems
๐Ÿ’ก In 1994 the company produced one of the worldโ€™s first true sine wave inverters.

Founded in 1964 by the Scott family, Selectronic Australia quickly established itself as a major manufacturer of custom made transformers and inductors for the local electronics industry. In 1981 the companyโ€™s electronics products division was established to meet a need for quality power conversion products in the emerging renewable energy market. At a time when power inverters were new and renewa

ble technologies were just starting to emerge, Selectronic Australia became an innovator in the field by producing its first power conversion product - a 360 Watt DC to AC modified square wave inverter. Driven by demand from the Solar industry and a passion for green energy, Selectronic Australia expanded its product offering to include models with higher power ratings. This brand new technology overcame the shortcomings of the modified square wave products and revolutionised the quality of the customerโ€™s power in Off Grid energy systems. Selectronic Australia has grown through a philosophy of providing products and solutions that focus on the customer needs and today this second generation family company is one of the largest Off Grid inverter manufacturers in the world. Using innovative technologies, Selectronic Australiaโ€™s power conversion products provide a cutting-edge basis for efficient, cost effective and green renewable energy systems.

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 โ€“ 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 Australiaโ€™s renewable energy industry.

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

Today at the SEIA Installersโ€™ Meeting in Wolli Creek, one theme kept coming up in conversations with installers:

๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐˜† ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜†๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜….

As installations move beyond traditional residential scale, 48V battery architectures begin to introduce practical limitations โ€” 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.

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 Installersโ€™ 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:

โ€ข Queensland Dynamic Connections (MSO)
โ€ข Electricity tariff structures and their impact on system design
โ€ข 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.

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.
