Meet Victron Open, modular power gear from the Netherlands, built for backup and off-grid homes.
- Built for off-grid living
Victron off-grid systems start from 500 W and scale up by running units in parallel, on single, split or three-phase.
- Open to other gear
Victron integrates a long list of other makers' managed batteries and solar inverters, so you aren't locked into one brand.
To claim the federal rebate, the battery itself must be on the approved list.
- Keep an existing solar inverter
Victron inverter/chargers support many grid-tie solar inverters once a software assistant is installed, so working solar can often stay.
Ask your installer to check your solar inverter's brand works with Victron.
- 5-year warranty on power gear
Victron's power products carry a 5-year warranty, upgradable to 10; its lithium batteries carry 3 years as standard.
The 10-year upgrade costs an extra 10% of the purchase price.

The company behind it
Victron Energy is a Dutch maker of inverter/chargers, batteries and monitoring gear, founded in the early 1970s.
Started in the 1970s
Founder Reinout Vader started Victron in the early 1970s after reworking a borrowed inverter, Victron says.
Still family-led
Victron says the founder's son, Matthijs, is now its chief executive.
Support through dealers
Victron says warranty and repair requests go through the dealer who originally sold the product.

Is Victron right for your home? Fit and warranty checks
A good fit if…
- Genuinely off-grid properties where no network connection exists to rebate against
- Boats, caravans, buses and remote sheds, which is what this equipment was designed for
- Owner-operators who want to see and tune every parameter rather than watch a simplified app
- Households pairing a Victron inverter with a listed battery from another brand to keep the federal discount
- Sites where a hybrid generator, multiple charging sources or unusual loads make a modular system worth the complexity
Consider the limitations
- You want the federal battery discount, which no Victron battery can attract
- You want a single cabinet from a single manufacturer with one warranty document
- You want the longest possible battery warranty term, since Victron’s lithium term is well short of the market norm
- You would rather not depend on one dealer’s competence for design, support and warranty

Victron specifications and source documents
Victron Energy is a Dutch manufacturer with a formidable reputation in off-grid, marine, caravan and remote power, and none of its batteries are on the Clean Energy Council approved battery list. That single fact reshapes the decision. If you are buying a grid-connected home battery and expecting the federal discount, a Victron battery cannot deliver it. If you are electrifying a boat, a bus, a shed or a property beyond the network, Victron is one of the strongest systems money can buy here, and the reason its owners are so loyal. The tell is on its own product pages: capacity is published in amp-hours at twelve, twenty-four and forty-eight volts, not in kilowatt-hours, because these were designed as direct-current system batteries rather than as household appliances.

- The manufacturer warranty is 3 years. Source
- Not on the Clean Energy Council approved battery list at the date checked. Source
- No Victron battery appears on the Clean Energy Council approved battery list, which is the hardware condition of the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, so a Victron battery does not attract the federal discount. A Victron inverter paired with a listed battery from another brand is the usual way an installer keeps both the Victron system and the rebate. Source
Victron questions, answered
- Can I get the federal battery rebate on a Victron battery?
- No. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program requires hardware on the Clean Energy Council approved battery list, and when we checked the Clean Energy Regulator’s register in full, no Victron battery appeared anywhere in it. Victron’s MultiPlus-II does appear on the separate approved inverter list, but an inverter approval does not make the battery eligible. If the discount matters, the battery has to come from elsewhere.
- So why would anyone choose Victron in Australia?
- Because for off-grid and mobile power it is exceptional, and a rebate is irrelevant to a property with no grid connection. Victron has been building this equipment for decades, its ecosystem covers charging, conversion, solar and monitoring as one designed whole, and the free monitoring tools are more capable than almost anything bundled with a household battery. It is the right answer to a different question.
- Can I use a Victron inverter with a rebate-eligible battery?
- That is the usual way installers square the circle, and it is worth asking about directly. A Victron inverter/charger paired with a battery that is on the approved list keeps the ecosystem and keeps the discount available, subject to the pairing being supported and the install meeting the program’s other conditions. Ask your installer to show you both the inverter and the exact battery model string on the quote.
- Why is Victron capacity listed in amp-hours instead of kilowatt-hours?
- Because these batteries were designed for direct-current systems — boats, vehicles, off-grid installations — where amp-hours at a system voltage is the natural unit. Household battery brands quote kilowatt-hours because that is what a power bill is measured in. The difference in units is a genuine signal about who the product was built for, and it is why comparing a Victron quote against a packaged home battery is not a like-for-like exercise.
- How long is the warranty on a Victron battery?
- Shorter than most of this market. Victron publishes a longer standard term on its power electronics than on its batteries, with lithium sitting well below the ten-year term that packaged home batteries typically carry, and an option to extend for an additional share of the purchase price. Read the record above for the figure, and treat the extension as a real line item rather than an afterthought.
- Who supports a Victron system if something goes wrong?
- Your dealer, backed by Victron’s worldwide repair network. There is no single national service desk taking homeowner calls the way a packaged-battery brand runs one. That model works well with a strong, established dealer and poorly with an occasional one, which makes who you buy from a more consequential decision here than with most brands on this site.
- Is Victron a good choice for backup during blackouts?
- It can be very good, because backup and off-grid operation is exactly what the inverter/chargers were designed to do, and they handle generator input and multiple charging sources more gracefully than most. The design work is the variable: which circuits are supported, what loads were assumed, and whether the battery is sized for the outage you actually expect. Ask to see the load profile the system was sized against.
