PowerPlus Energy Champions Local Manufacturing
PowerPlus Energy (PPE) recently opened the doors of their Victorian factory to give more than 60 local solar installers the opportunity to see why the company is developing a reputation as one of Australia’s best battery manufacturers.
PPE works closely with a network of installers who are trained to install and maintain PPE products.
The tours were designed to educate the solar installer community about the company’s genuine commitment to producing high-quality Australian-designed, made, and manufactured batteries and equipment.
Led by PPE CEO Bradley Paton, the tours offered an in-depth look into the various aspects of the company’s operations, including cell procurement, the intricacies of Battery Management Systems (BMS), and the momentum the company is making through in-house product development.
Guests were walked through the exhaustive safety measures in place that underscore PPE’s commitment to quality, emphasising the checklists, approvals, and rigorous testing each component undergoes before becoming an integral part of PPE batteries.
“The pride in using Australian materials reinforces our commitment to supporting local industries,” Mr Paton said. “This transparency had a profound impact, reinforcing the trust our visitors place in the PowerPlus Energy brand.”
Mr Paton said guests were surprised to realise the extent of PPE’s involvement in the manufacturing process and how much of the work is undertaken in-house.
“With not only assembling the batteries and cabinets in-house, but also down to the crimping of every lug and ferrule, including stripping and heat shrinking each of our components,” he said.
“This decision sheds light on what Australian-made truly represents and shows that the badge we wear is met with honest business practices.” “The tours affirmed a crucial message: PowerPlus Energy is not just a company; we are genuinely Australian-designed, made, and manufactured.”
