Alt-tech

Alt-Tech stores are closed over the Anzac Day long weekend.

If you need to grab any gear before the weekend get in before close of business on Friday.
We'll be back again as usual on Tuesday.

Is your dog concerned about their carbon footprint?
Worried about costs of fuel to keep the diesel generator powering their off-grid home?
They want to ensure they can keep the lights and heat pad on as we move towards winter. Maybe your cat needs to keep the smart litter box running in their catio to avoid a poopnado.

Ensure power independence with Alt-Tech Pet Solar! Our new package designed to meet the needs of your animal companion.

... but if you've got a mad outside the box off-grid power idea, we are actually here for it!

Alt-Tech stores will be closed over the Easter weekend.

If you need any off-grid power gear for a trip away, get in and get it sorted early.

If you rely on an off-grid system, get organised and grab anything and everything you need in plenty of time. Be sure your off-grid system can handle the load and you've got all the components you need.

We hope you all have a brilliant 4-day weekend however you're spending it.

Our Welshpool store is proudly powered by off-grid second-life solar and now our customers can tap into this to charge their EV whilst they shop!

We love second-life solar and putting our ethos into practice. These EV chargers are powered by "ugly solar" - second life solar panels that pass fault examinations, but have aesthetic challenges such as discolouration which make them difficult to sell. These "ugly" electrons pass through some of Victron Energy's finest gear (Quattro inverters and EV chargers) and are available guilt-free to charge your EV. One step greener than a traditional solar system, not only are you guaranteed zero electrons from fossil fuels, you are also supporting circularity in the solar industry.

In a linear, form over function economy, these panels would likely have been earmarked for premature recycling or even sent to landfill. As we're committed to keeping things circular, value preservation and lifespan maximisation is our jam. Just as you wouldn't scrap a fully functional car, we shouldn't be scrapping fully functional panels.
Come down in your EV and soak up some ugly electrons whilst you shop!

This Monday is Labour Day in WA and Alt-Tech Welshpool will be closed.
Alt-Tech Wagga will still be open as usual.

This is our regular public holiday reminder to get prepared and grab anything you might need ahead of the long weekend, the store is open on Saturday morning as usual.

Long weekend incoming.

Alt-Tech stores will be closed on Monday 26th January and this is your reminder to grab anything you need ahead of the public holiday.

If you're heading away somewhere and need any last minute power essentials, we are open, as usual, until 1pm on Saturday.

With Christmas fast approaching, make sure you've got everything sorted for your off-grid system or projects whilst we're closed.

We hope you all have a safe, fun and restful festive break.

Now for a Christmas classic with an off-grid twist...

Single cells, single cells,
Charging up all day,
Oh what fun it is to live
The off-grid solar way — hey!

Single cells, single cells,
MPPT’s at play,
Tracking volts and amps just right
To harvest every ray.

Single cells, single cells,
Sunshine on the way,
Check the SOC and loads once more
Before we end the day — hey!

Single cells, single cells,
Off-grid cheer we tell,
Merry solar Christmas all—
And may your systems jingle well!
