Pixii is taking the next step in its modular journey with the launch of the Pixii PowerNode – a new higher DC voltage product series now available in Australia.
Expanding beyond Pixii’s proven 48V solutions, the PowerNode is a modular BESS platform unlocking the potential of DC microgrids, scaling from 100kW up to 10MW and addressing the needs of commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications
Tailored for Australia’s energy landscape
Australia’s fast-growing renewable sector and vast, often remote grid infrastructure demand flexible, distributed energy solutions. Many regions face weak-grid or off-grid conditions, where connecting new renewable capacity is difficult or expensive. PowerNode meets these challenges by enabling modular DC microgrids that operate efficiently both on, and off the grid – giving customers control and resilience in a changing energy landscape.
While Europe focuses on optimising strong but complex grids, Australia’s energy transition depends on smarter local control and autonomy which is exactly what PowerNode delivers.
Freedom from grid limits
For many projects, the greatest challenge is not cost or technology – it is the grid and installation complexity. PowerNode removes this barrier by creating modular DC microgrids built on Pixii’s flexible BESS platform. Customers can design systems around their needs rather than grid restrictions, gaining reliable, future-proof energy storage.
Pixii Energy Architect EMS – the brain of the system
The PowerNode hardware is only one part of the solution. The real intelligence comes from the Pixii Energy Architect EMS, which controls, optimises, and protects every installation.
The EMS continuously monitors energy flows from solar, batteries, gensets, EV chargers, and the grid. It decides in real time when to store, discharge, or trade energy, while protecting battery health and balancing multiple services without conflict.
For customers, this means:
- Lower costs – peak shaving, arbitrage, and reduced fuel consumption
- Higher efficiency – maximised PV self-consumption, optimised battery life
- Reliability – seamless off-grid operation and prioritisation of critical loads
- New revenue streams – participation in frequency and and voltage support markets
With the Energy Architect, every PowerNode becomes more than hardware, it becomes a smart, autonomous energy asset.
Built for efficiency and resilience
PowerNode is certified to global safety and compliance standards, with conversion efficiency up to 98.5 percent. Installation is straightforward forklift placement and pre-designed cabling cut deployment times and reduce costs. Designed and engineered by Pixii, the PowerNode builds on Pixii DNA – combining modularity, scalability, and intelligent control to deliver reliable, future-proof energy infrastructure
For every application
The PowerNode is engineered for versatility – supporting everything from metropolitan community batteries and commercial & industrial sites to EV charging infrastructure, regional SWER line reinforcement, and large-scale grid services. Its modular design and flexible EMS control enable seamless scalability, helping customers optimise performance and secure long-term return on investment.
“We see customers across Australia looking for energy independence and resilience. With PowerNode, they can scale on their own terms, whether for EV charging, factory backup systems, or grid support in regional areas. It is about flexibility, simplicity, and peace of mind.”
