Gotion Pushes Lower Wonga Project, Debuts Storage Lineup in Australia

Gotion High-Tech is steadily advancing Australia’s largest solar-plus-storage project and used All-Energy Australia 2026 to present a full-scenario storage portfolio and update customers and partners on its local market progress. The event, Australia’s largest clean energy industry gathering, was held from 28 to 29 October at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Gotion, a global smart energy solutions provider, showcased its Qianyuan Daodao commercial and industrial storage products, Qianyuan Zhichu utility-scale storage system and mobile storage solutions. It also highlighted the Lower Wonga DC-coupled solar-plus-storage project, for which its Australian subsidiary is part of the EPC contractor consortium, and gave an Australian debut to several new products including the GOTION GRID 1 1MWh storage system.

From product exports to project delivery and local execution, Gotion is deepening its participation in Australia’s energy transition through integrated capabilities covering cell R&D and manufacturing, storage system integration and engineering, procurement and construction. The company presented three certainties to the Australian market: projects under construction, products ready for deployment and a local team on the ground.

The Lower Wonga solar-plus-storage project, located near Gympie in Queensland, is being developed by international energy developer Lightsource bp. It is planned to include about 380MWdc of PV and a 281MW/843MWh DC-coupled storage system, making it one of Australia’s largest DC-coupled solar-plus-storage projects. The project is supported by the Australian federal government’s Capacity Investment Scheme. Gotion’s Australian subsidiary and INTEC Energy Solutions form a consortium serving as the EPC contractor.

Construction began in June 2026, and site work is progressing on schedule. The project is expected to enter commercial operation by the end of 2028, when it will be able to meet the annual electricity demand of about 126,000 Australian households and provide stable, dispatchable clean power to the Queensland grid.

Unlike conventional AC-coupled solutions, the DC-coupled architecture connects PV and storage directly on the DC side and shares grid-connected inverter and step-up facilities. This reduces energy conversion stages, recovers curtailed PV output and lowers overall construction costs, while placing higher demands on storage system integration and coordinated control. As a core EPC contractor, Gotion is providing a full utility-scale solar-plus-storage solution, including storage system design, equipment supply, system integration and full-process work covering grid modelling and compliance validation, system commissioning and testing, quality management, supply chain logistics and engineering delivery. The project uses Gotion’s 5MWh utility-scale storage system with self-developed long-cycle cells designed for 25 years of operation. The product has obtained IEC certification and Australian grid access qualifications and is suited to local complex grid conditions.

Through this project, Gotion has developed storage system integration and compliance capabilities that meet National Electricity Market grid access and performance requirements, and has established a local project management system covering engineering execution, commissioning and acceptance. This is expected to support further large-scale solar-plus-storage projects.

In the commercial and industrial segment, Gotion has already achieved scaled deployment in Australia. Its GOTION EDGE X 261kWh C&I storage system is operating in multiple locations, with cumulative deliveries to a single customer exceeding 300 units, winning repeat purchases on the back of stable performance.

At the show, Gotion launched three new products for the Australian market: the GOTION GRID 1 1MWh storage system, the STACK stacked C&I storage system and the T5000 mobile storage power station.

The GOTION GRID 1 1MWh storage system was developed for Australian conditions including high temperatures, site constraints and phased C&I investment. It uses a standard 10-foot container design with a small footprint, easy transport and complete configuration. It offers high power and fast response and can be used in microgrids, small solar-plus-storage plants, mining and remote community power supply, and land-constrained industrial and commercial parks. Pre-integrated, modular delivery can significantly reduce on-site installation and commissioning work and shorten grid-connection cycles, responding to Australian demand for high power, easy transport and complete configuration.

The STACK stacked C&I storage system uses 12.8kWh standardized stackable modules and can expand to 153.6kWh. Its modular design simplifies transport and on-site installation and supports phased expansion as customers’ energy use grows, shifting from one-time heavy asset investment to on-demand step-by-step investment. Combined with local subsidy policies, this improves the economics of C&I storage.

The T5000 mobile storage power station has a battery capacity of 5.22kWh and a rated output of 5kW. It can supply power independently without grid connection and replaces conventional diesel or gasoline generators with zero-emission, low-noise clean energy. It is suitable for off-grid scenarios such as mobile catering, outdoor construction and event support.
