The group’s early decades were spent on the unglamorous side of energy: distribution boards, switchgear, cabling, protection and commissioning for industrial and institutional clients. That work produced a specific kind of institutional knowledge — what actually fails on site, and why.

When rooftop solar spread, the same clients began reporting the same frustration. They were generating clean power at midday and buying expensive power at night. Diesel gensets were still running. Demand charges were still climbing.

Storage was the answer, but the market was full of imported boxes with little engineering support behind them. AMPAX was created to close that gap: a properly engineered storage platform, supported by a team that has been commissioning electrical systems for four decades.
