The energy landscape in Europe, and particularly in the Netherlands, is undergoing a seismic shift. With fluctuating energy prices and the upcoming phase-out of the net metering (salderingsregeling) scheme in 2027, Dutch homeowners are more motivated than ever to take control of their power. The question is no longer if solar and storage are a good idea, but how to best understand and implement this transformative technology.
At AlphaESS, we believe the answer is to bring the solution directly to you.
Traditional brochures and websites can only convey so much. To truly grasp the potential of a state-of-the-art energy storage system, you need to see it, touch it, and understand how it integrates into your life. That’s the driving force behind our latest initiative: a mobile exhibition vehicle, created in partnership with solar technology leader LONGi.
Fresh from a highly successful tour across Belgium and the Netherlands, this mobile showroom is changing the way customers and installers connect with the future of energy.
A Showroom on Wheels: Experience Innovation Up Close
Forget static displays in convention halls. Our mobile exhibition is a dynamic, rolling showcase of a complete "PV-plus-storage" ecosystem. It’s a classroom, a consultation hub, and a tangible demonstration of energy independence all in one. By bringing our technology to the heart of local communities, we break down barriers, making it easier than ever for installers to get hands-on training and for homeowners to envision a smarter, greener future.
The feedback from our tours in Belgium and the Netherlands has been overwhelmingly positive. Installers appreciate the on-site deep dive into our systems, while homeowners are thrilled by the opportunity to have their questions answered by experts, right in their own neighborhoods.
The tour reached a crescendo in Eindhoven on September 17th during our dedicated event for Dutch C&I installers. The mobile exhibition vehicle acted as a perfect bridge, broadening the day's scope. Installers who came to learn about our commercial products were also given a unique opportunity to experience our renowned residential systems firsthand. This powerful combination proved to be a huge success, showcasing the full spectrum of the AlphaESS product family and confirming the incredible demand for reliable energy solutions across all scales.
At the Heart of the Tour: The SMILE-G3 Residential Storage System
The star of our mobile showroom is the AlphaESS SMILE-G3 Residential Storage System. This isn't just a battery; it's the intelligent heart of your home's energy ecosystem, meticulously engineered for the demands of the modern European household.
Understanding the Dutch market means preparing homeowners for a post-net-metering world. The key to maximizing your solar investment will be self-consumption—using the energy you generate instead of selling it back to the grid for a diminishing return. This is where the SMILE-G3 excels.
Here’s what makes it the perfect solution for today and tomorrow:
-
AlphaLinX – The Ultimate Battery Architecture: Traditional batteries force compromises between efficiency and capacity, but the revolutionary AlphaLinX delivers 12% more usable capacity and a 20% longer lifespan. With patented bypass technology and automatic cell balancing, faulty cells auto-isolate to ensure your power never drops to zero, keeping 15% more solar energy for your home.
-
Modular, Scalable Design: The SMILE-G3 grows with you. Its modular battery design allows you to start with a capacity as low as 3.8 kWh and expand all the way up to 111.6 kWh. Whether you're living in a modest terraced house or a large detached home with an EV, the system scales to meet your evolving energy needs.
-
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): With a seamless switchover time of less than 10 milliseconds, the SMILE-G3 provides true UPS-level backup for your critical loads. When the grid goes down, your lights, Wi-Fi, and refrigerator stay on without a flicker, ensuring total peace of mind.
-
Superior LFP Safety: We use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry, the safest and most stable technology on the market. This ensures a long lifespan, superior thermal stability, and the highest level of safety for your family and home.
-
Intelligent Energy Management: The SMILE-G3 is smart tariff-ready. It intelligently charges from the grid when electricity is cheapest and powers your home from the battery during expensive peak hours. Its advanced AI algorithms and 24/7 monitoring via the AlphaCloud platform put you in complete control, helping you slash your energy bills.
Alongside the powerhouse SMILE-G3, the exhibition also features our VitaPower balcony storage system, a groundbreaking plug-and-play solution designed for apartments and rental homes, proving that everyone can participate in the solar revolution.
Your Energy Future is Here. Let's Connect.
The success of our mobile exhibition tour is a clear sign that the future of energy is not just about powerful technology, but about accessibility and education. We are committed to empowering European homes and businesses to achieve energy independence.
