SYDNEY, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the globally leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, deployed its PowerKeeper Series at Absolutely Wholesale, an Australian-owned family wholefoods distributor in Byron Bay. Tailored to the enterprise's 24/7 refrigeration-intensive operations, the project is helping the business reduce energy costs, improve energy resilience, and maximise the value of its existing solar investment.
Against the backdrop of surging electricity prices across Australia, energy-intensive businesses are looking for smarter ways to increase solar self-consumption and reduce dependence on the grid. For food wholesale businesses operating around-the-clock refrigeration and cooling systems, battery storage is becoming an increasingly effective tool for managing energy costs and improving operational efficiency.
Turning Existing Solar into Smarter Energy Value
To support its energy-intensive operations, the site had already installed a 100kW rooftop solar system. However, with continuous refrigeration demand and high night-time electricity costs, the business needed a way to use more daytime solar generation after hours.
Installed by ProSolar, Sungrow's SH110CX hybrid inverter and 50kWh PowerKeeper battery solution help the store excess solar energy during the day and use it at night, reducing grid reliance and supporting more efficient daily operations.
Supporting 24/7 Refrigeration with Enhanced Energy Independence
For Absolutely Wholesale, around-the-clock refrigeration is essential to daily operations, continuous cooling demand also creates significant night-time electricity costs. By integrating Sungrow's SH110CX hybrid inverter and 50kWh PowerKeeper battery with the site's existing 100kW solar system, maximise the value of the solar generation by storing excess energy for use at night and during peak demand periods.
Installed within the cool room environment, the PowerKeeper operates reliably at 10°C and is designed to perform across a wide operating temperature range of –20°C to 55°C, making it suitable for diverse and demanding Australian conditions.
Driving Rapid ROI with an Expected One-Year Payback
Prior to the installation, Absolutely Wholesale's electricity bills ranged from AUD $10,000 to $20,000 per month. The project uses an efficient DC-coupled architecture, reducing additional infrastructure upgrades and overall project investment. As a result, the system is expected to achieve return on investment within one year, demonstrating the strong commercial value of Sungrow's energy storage solution for energy-intensive businesses.
The system is also supported by Sungrow's iSolarCloud platform, providing 24/7 visibility of battery performance, site consumption and grid export, enabling smarter and more efficient energy management.
Building a More Resilient Energy Future
Following the successful deployment, Absolutely Wholesale has already ordered an additional 50kWh of battery capacity with Sungrow and ProSolar, highlighting the scalability and long-term value of the PowerKeeper solution.
"PowerKeeper's modular design made it a practical solution for Absolutely Wholesale's current and future energy needs," said Ben Pietzsch, Co-owner and General Manager of ProSolar. "The customer's decision to add another 50kWh shows strong confidence in the system and its ability to support growing operations."
"Australian businesses are increasingly looking for flexible and efficient energy solutions to manage changing energy needs and rising operating cost pressures," said Joe Zhou, Vice President of Sungrow Asia Pacific. "The Absolutely Wholesale project demonstrates how Sungrow's advanced PV and energy storage technologies, together with strong local partner expertise, can help businesses unlock greater value from their existing solar assets and prepare for future energy expansion."
By integrating solar generation, battery storage and intelligent monitoring, Sungrow is helping more Australian businesses turn clean energy into reliable, cost-effective support.

Sungrow Powers 24/7 Refrigeration for Australian Wholesaler
SHENZHEN, China, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollyland, a global provider of professional wireless audio and video solutions, has officially launched the Pyro 5 4K, the latest addition to its Pyro wireless transmission lineup. Building on Pyro 5, the new wireless monitor introduces three major upgrades: end-to-end 4K30 wireless transmission, support for direct camera control on more camera models, and the new Image Overlay function.
Professional productions have traditionally relied on separate wireless transmission systems and standalone field monitors, requiring additional equipment, cabling, and setup time. Designed as more than just a monitor, the Pyro 5 4K streamlines this workflow by combining multiple production tools into one compact solution, helping filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators simplify on-set setups and improve production efficiency.
Uncompromising Transmission Performance
At the core of the Pyro 5 4K is end-to-end 4K30 wireless transmission across the entire Pyro ecosystem, delivering ultra-clear image quality for professional production workflows. Whether used for filmmaking, commercial production, live streaming, or multi-camera broadcasting, the monitor supports wireless video transmission.
Powered by Hollyland's WiFiBroadcast technology, the Pyro 5 4K enables flexible wireless collaboration across the Pyro ecosystem. In Broadcast Mode, a single Pyro 5 4K can transmit video to up to four Pyro devices simultaneously at distances of up to 200 meters (656 ft) line of sight. When Broadcast Mode is disabled, it supports connections with up to two Pyro devices and two HollyView App clients.
Like Pyro 5 and Pyro 7, the Pyro 5 4K operates across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, with access to more wireless spectrum. Smart Channel Selection scans available frequencies each time the monitor powers on and selects a clean channel automatically. During use, Auto Frequency Hopping helps maintain a stable connection by switching to cleaner channels when interference is detected. For productions running multiple Pyro devices, manual channel selection lets crews assign different channels to each device, so each device stays on its own channel, reducing channel conflicts across the system.
More Than Just A Monitor
Building on its wireless transmission capabilities, the Pyro 5 4K combines transmitter, receiver, and monitor functions in a single 5.5-inch device, simplifying both camera-mounted and mobile monitoring setups. More than a wireless monitor, the Pyro 5 4K also supports direct camera control and proxy recording.
The Direct Camera Control feature enables operators to adjust camera settings from the touchscreen without returning to the camera. Expanded compatibility now supports more Sony, Canon, and Nikon camera models. The new Image Overlay function helps crews precisely match framing using reference images, making it ideal for consistent compositions across multiple takes while reducing reshoots.
The monitor also supports Proxy Recording, saving proxy files directly to an SD card with embedded timecode for synchronized review, rough editing, and post-production collaboration.
The 5.5-inch, 1,500-nit daylight-viewable display on the Pyro 5 4K comes with professional monitoring tools, including Waveform, False Color, Focus Assist, Zebra Pattern, and 3D LUT. It also supports HDMI IN, HDMI OUT, and SDI IN for signal input and output flexibility.
The Pyro 5 4K builds upon the wireless transmission strengths of the Pyro ecosystem. By integrating 4K30 wireless workflows, intelligent monitoring, direct camera control, proxy recording, and live streaming into a single compact monitor, the new device offers filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators a more streamlined and flexible production solution from capture to delivery.
Pricing and Availability
The Pyro 5 4K is available now through local distributors, Amazon, and the Hollyland online store for $449.
