SunPower unveils two new SunVault battery options

American solar and battery storage company SunPower has unveiled two new versions of its popular SunVault energy storage products, with the launch of a 19.5kWh and 39kWh version.

SunPower launched its first SunVault battery storage option back in 2021 and has since expanded the range of options to include five available configurations – 13kWh, 19.5 kWh, 26 kWh, 39 kWh and 52 kWh, ensuring there is a battery storage option for almost any home.

Specifically, SunVault configurations with multiple inverters and storage capacity greater then 26kWh have the potential to power the whole home.

The two new SunVault battery configurations offer increased energy density and maximised space within the battery as compared to previous versions of SunVault, allowing for the storage of more energy in a single box.

According to SunPower, this means that customers “can purchase more energy storage for less money” and take up less wall space.

“Every homeowner has unique energy storage needs – some want the peace of mind that they can power essentials during a blackout like a refrigerator and WiFi, while others want the flexibility to also charge an EV or run their air conditioning,” said Nate Coleman, chief products officer at SunPower.

“With these new storage sizes and higher power output through multiple inverters, SunVault’s modular configuration allows customers to get the storage size they need today with the reassurance that they can grow their system as their home energy requirements change.”

SunPower seemingly does not currently make its SunVault storage options available in Australia through its spin-off Maxeon, which operates the SunPower brand in all global markets and the Maxeon brand in the United States, Canada and Japan.

One Step Off The Grid has reached out to Maxeon and SunPower to ask whether SunVault will be available in Australia anytime soon, and we will update this article as appropriate.
