A new era of home energy is here

The way we power our homes is evolving. Across New Zealand, more homeowners are turning to solar - not just to save on electricity, but to take greater control in the face of rising energy costs, increasing demand on the grid, and growing concerns around power reliability.

Until now, most home energy systems have relied on separate inverters, batteries, control systems, and backup units - stitched together with varying levels of complexity and compromise.

The Pylontech Force H3X changes that.

This isn’t just another battery. It’s a fully integrated, true all-in-one energy system - combining battery storage, a hybrid inverter, an intelligent energy manager, a battery management system, and built-in backup power. Everything works together, in one seamless unit.

And now, it’s available in New Zealand - one of the first countries in the world selected for launch. That’s not just exciting tech news - it’s a unique opportunity for Kiwi homeowners to lead the shift toward smarter, simpler energy.

Smarter energy, lower bills - without changing how you live

One of the most powerful features of the Force H3X is what it does quietly in the background.

Built into every system is Dynamic Control - a smart energy manager that uses real-time data and predictive algorithms to optimise how and when your home uses power.

Here’s how it works:

It forecasts your solar generation and electricity prices
It learns your household’s usage patterns
It decides when to charge the battery, when to use it, and when to draw from the grid - if needed
And it continuously updates its strategy, hour by hour, without you lifting a finger

The result? Lower power bills, greater self-sufficiency, and smarter energy use - all without changing a thing about how you live.

For homes with variable energy use, rising grid costs, or time-of-use pricing, the difference can be substantial. In real-world comparisons, Dynamic Control consistently outperforms standard self-consumption setups - delivering 15–36% more in energy savings, simply by optimising when and how energy flows in and out of the system.

And if you want even more control, Intelligent Dynamic Mode takes it a step further - pulling in live data, price feeds, and predictive modelling to recalculate and refine your strategy in real time. It’s ideal for homeowners who want to get the absolute most from every kilowatt.

Whether you’re in the Far North or deep in the Southern Lakes, this is a system designed to perform - quietly, safely, and reliably - no matter where you live.

Start with what you need. Scale as life changes.

Not every home needs 15kW of power or 30kWh of storage from day one. But life evolves - and your energy needs often do too.

That’s where the Power Extension feature sets the Force H3X apart. Each system ships with a set base output, but if things change - say you add an EV, a pool, or your family grows - you can scale up digitally, with no hardware replacement and no reinstallation required.

Here’s how it works:

Request a digital activation code
Apply the upgrade remotely via the platform
Unlock higher output instantly

No rip-outs. No downtime. No need to over-invest early.

It’s a smarter, more flexible way to future-proof your energy system - and your budget.
