This approval marks a major milestone for installers looking to deliver fast, reliable, rebate-ready energy storage systems for both on-grid and off-grid applications.
“CEC approval for Helios gives installers a solid option for rebate-eligible projects without compromising on performance or integration,” said Gareth Thomas, Applications Engineer at DPA Energy. “It’s a practical, well-built system that’s easy to deploy and works seamlessly with inverters like Victron and Noark.”
Designed for flexibility and performance, the Helios delivers 16 kWh of reliable lithium storage in a compact, IP65-rated enclosure. It supports on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid installations, making it ideal for both residential and light-commercial projects. With seamless closed-loop integration, scalable architecture, and rugged all-climate design, Helios is built to meet the real-world demands of Australian installers.
