Australian Made Energy Solutions
Australia has an abundant supply of solar resources. It receives 58 million PJ of solar radiation a year on average which is the highest solar radiation per square metre received by a single continent. Solar energy accounts for only 0.1% of Australia’s total primary energy consumption highlighting the need for more widespread adoption. Australian company Mictronix Power Systems (MPS) aims to make the transition to a clean energy future simple and straightforward.
We have partnered with MPS to bring quality Australian made energy storage batteries designed for use in Australian conditions. The partnership, based on shared values, combines MPS’ and R&J Batteries’ expertise to deliver the highest standard of customer service.
Specialising in off grid power systems
MPS specialises in off-grid power solutions empowering users to be in complete control of their energy use. While MPS products are great for people living in remote areas with little to no access to the electrical grid, they are suitable for a wide range of other applications as well.
MPS batteries are powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry. Compared to some other lithium battery chemistries, LiFePO4 batteries are stable and resistant to overheating and thermal runway, eliminating the risk of battery fires. This makes LiFePO4 batteries one of the safest lithium batteries on the market.

Case Study – Good Brew Drive Thru
Location: Sale, Victoria
Business: Good Brew Drive Thru Coffee
Installer: Bairnsdale Electrical and Solar
Brief:
Owner, Geoff Manson, wanted high quality Australian-made energy storage batteries for his Good Brew Drive Thru in Sale, Victoria. It was also important for Geoff to have dependable reliable power to ensure that food and cold beverages are kept cool 24/7 and the café can operate through normal business hours throughout any event.
Solution:
MPS batteries were chosen for the project due to the brand’s dependability and proven track record for performing in Australian conditions. We supplied 61.2kWh of storage using 12 x MPS48V5.1kWh units in an MPS defender 3 cabinet. The system also included 2 x 400A rack-mounted Noark circuit breakers.
Outcome:
A week after installing MPS batteries, a blackout brought the entire town in Sale to a standstill affecting all businesses – except Good Brew Drive Thru. It was the only business operating during the blackout thanks to MPS batteries which kicked in instantly to supply power to keep the business running. Good Brew Drive Thru delivered record takings that day and acquired new customers that tried the coffee for the first time and are now regulars at the cafe.
Client Feedback:
“The process has been seamless from talking with Justin from R&J Batteries through to the installation with Carl at Bairnsdale Electrical & Solar. The batteries have been faultless. We have experienced 2 days where the town has had no power, but in our case, we were the only store open. The result was record sales, new customers and our sales and customer count have grown significantly. Not only do the batteries give us confidence going forward that we can deliver the best QSR service every day, but the staff have also commented on how the batteries give them confidence with continued employment every day of the year. As we increase our trading hours, we can just add more batteries rather than give the power to the grid. We intend to rollout the same system in all our drive thru stores with the next store being one in Bairnsdale.”
