The DPA PowerStore 16 is a pre-configured residential battery energy storage platform combining a Deye 6kW single-phase hybrid inverter, 16kWh of Discover Helios LiFePO₄ battery storage and the key components required for installation.

Developed by DPA Energy, the PowerStore range simplifies residential battery system specification by combining a compatible inverter, battery, monitoring and protection components under a single part number. Rather than sourcing individual products, installers can specify a complete platform that reduces procurement time while maintaining flexibility to meet site-specific project requirements.

PowerStore 16 supports existing or new rooftop PV systems up to 9kW and is suitable for both new hybrid installations and battery retrofits. It is designed for homes with moderate daily energy consumption, essential backup requirements or rooftop solar generation that would otherwise be exported to the grid.

Application

PowerStore 16 is designed for residential installations where battery storage is being added to improve solar self-consumption, provide backup capability and support future household electrification.

Typical applications include:

• Existing rooftop solar systems requiring battery storage
• New hybrid solar and battery installations
• Homes with moderate daily electricity consumption
• Blackout power ability for essential household circuits
• Homes planning additional electrical loads, including EV charging

Battery capacity should be selected based on household energy consumption, available solar generation, backup requirements and future electrical demand. PowerStore 16 provides a standardised platform where 16kWh of storage is appropriate for the application.

PowerStore 16 includes

• Battery storage: 16kWh Discover Helios LiFePO₄ Battery (1 × 16kWh module)
• Hybrid inverter: Deye 6kW Single Phase Hybrid Inverter
• Battery distribution: Discover Helios Breaker Box
• Battery cabling: Discover Helios Battery Cable Set
• AC protection: 32A AC Circuit Breaker
• AC isolation: IP66 3-Pole 63A 500V AC Isolator Switch
• Monitoring: Energy Meter & CT
• Compliance: Solar Label Kit and Battery Label Kit
• Compatible PV: Existing or new rooftop PV systems up to 9kW

Typical system performance

PowerStore 16 is intended for residential systems where battery storage is required to capture more on-site solar generation while providing reliable backup power.

Typical installations include:

• 16kWh of installed battery storage
• Rooftop PV systems up to 9kW
• Moderate daily electricity consumption
• Homes exporting a significant proportion of daytime solar generation
• Essential circuit blackout protection — when combined with the PS-BOP Kit
• Capacity for future electrical loads such as EV charging

Actual performance will vary depending on system configuration, household energy consumption, solar generation, weather conditions and backup load requirements.

Why PowerStore? A pre-configured platform

PowerStore combines the major system components into a single platform, reducing the time required to specify, source and procure compatible products.

Compatible components

Each PowerStore configuration combines Deye hybrid inverter technology with Discover Helios battery storage, together with the protection, monitoring and installation components required for a residential battery system.

Simplified installation

By including battery protection, AC protection, monitoring hardware, connection cables and compliance labelling, PowerStore helps reduce the need to source additional installation components separately.

Developed from real installations

PowerStore configurations have been informed by practical residential battery projects where energy consumption, solar generation, backup requirements and future electrical demand have been used to determine appropriate system sizing, demonstrating the importance of matching battery capacity to measured site performance.

Developed by DPA Energy

PowerStore is a DPA Energy platform developed to simplify residential battery system design and specification. Each configuration combines compatible technologies, installation components and practical application knowledge into a standardised system that helps reduce specification complexity while streamlining procurement, installation and commissioning.

Rather than selecting individual products for every project, installers can specify a proven platform configured around real-world residential applications and backed by DPA Energy's technical expertise.
