It was only a matter of time - just like the coal powered Tesla cars.



Solar home battery warning after Brisbane house fire
By Toby Crockford 27 December 2018 — 9:47am

Fire crews who battled a Boxing Day blaze in inner Brisbane have warned of the dangers of solar-charged home batteries.

The fire took hold of the lower-level and garage inside a School Street house in Woolloongabba just before 2pm.

VIDEO: Solar electricity storage batteries are thought to have sparked a large house fire in Woolloongabba this afternoon.


Sixteen firefighters spent an hour bringing the fire under control and another hour to extinguish the flames.

The homeowner told reporters they had solar panels connected to lithium-ion batteries and suspected the fire started nearby, a view shared by firefighter Malcolm Muscat.

"[There were] approximately three battery banks so lithium-ion, lead-acid batteries, they burn with a ferocity that moves through the house quickly," Mr Muscat said.

Also on Wednesday, a Gold Coast home was engulfed by flames just after 10.30pm and it took fire crews more than two hours to extinguish the blaze.

Emergency services were called to the Mill Road house in Steiglitz and found the flames had taken hold by the time they arrived.

The residents escaped unharmed and fire crews wrapped up at the two-storey home about 1am.

I guess we have to wait and see what the fire report is... did the batteries cause the fire, where they lithium or lead acid as the fireman mentions both..... was the fire from a battery meltdown or just a spark ?  Wink

The Tweedle twins continue with their total rubbish because they are too dumb to know any better and just do not have the intelligence to understand technical stuff and so these imbeciles just parrot Google stuff without understanding a word.

Silly old Tweedledum is still rabbiting on about some selling video which the fool is too dumb to understand it is just selling blurb saying the product is the best thing since sliced bread. Tweedledumb would have to be the original sucker.

Even sillier Tweedledee just copies my clever post and adds some idiotic dribble.

it is significant that Tesla avoid it like the plague as Musky is too smart to be sucked in by rubbish like that.

Poor old Tweedledumb's tiny shrunken twisted mind is mentally exhausted and she is reduced to a blubbery heap. But what has the perils of being autistic got to do with solar batteries ?

Now what squashed humiliated Tweedledumb hates - a return to the TOPIC. Now how many solar batteries are available here in Australia ?



Solar batteries available in Australia
Posted by Brendon O'Neill 02/09/2018

Solar energy is a rapidly expanding industry and thanks to innovative leaps in battery storage technology in recent years, it’s now more viable than ever. For those who aren’t yet in the loop, a solar battery is essentially just that – a battery that stores power generated by your solar panels. In the past, solar energy that was not immediately used by your household would be transferred into the energy grid, however, if your home has a storage battery installed, this energy can now be stored for use later on.

Analysts are predicting that half of all households in Australia will adopt a solar storage system in the next 10 years, so it’s worth knowing what’s out there. In this report, we take a close look at what storage systems are available or soon to be available on the Australian market. Here is a list of retailers, followed by a closer look at each brand.

Solar battery brands quick guide
Samsung SDI
AllGrid Energy
Redflow
Tesla
Panasonic
Sunverge
Enphase Energy
ZEN Energy
Ampetus Energy
NeeoQube
Alpha.ESS
Redback
Fronius
Ecoult
LG Chem
Aquion
Imergy
Magellan Power
Bosch
Sonnen
Victron
Mercedes-Benz Energy
Solax
SimpliPhi
Sungrow
Leclanche Apollion Cube
Soltaro 2
Fusion Power Systems
Hansol
Trinabess


Samsung SDI
...

Samsung’s SDI all-in-one battery storage device was one of the first to hit the Australian market. It combines a solar/battery inverter and a lithium-ion battery with a modest 3.6kWh capacity.

Origin Energy is trialing the 3.6kWh Samsung SDI battery storage unit for its customers in some areas. Samsung has said it is working on larger batteries, including 6.2kWh and 10kWh models, however there is unfortunately no pricing information available as of yet.

Key takeouts:
Web portal and mobile app monitoring system and control features
Two-year product warranty and seven-year performance warranty

AllGrid Energy
...

AllGrid Energy is a Brisbane-based energy research company. In August 2015, it launched its solar battery, the 10kWh WattGrid.

The WattGrid solar battery is not your conventional battery and instead holds its charge in tubes of a lead-acid gel variant. While this is alleged to improve efficiency, it makes the battery less ideal for outdoors. The battery has four modes: Solar, battery, grid backup and time of use.

The time of use mode lets it draw electricity from the grid at off-peak periods, while the backup mode will ensure there remains a reserve of backup energy in the event of blackouts and will prioritise certain appliances like fridges. On its release, the battery system retailed for $11,999 (not including installation).

Key takeouts:
Real-time monitoring software
Four modes to optimise electricity storage and usage
Not ideal to install outside

Redflow
...

Redflow currently offers Zinc Bromide batteries ranging in sizes from 8kWh to 11kWh, specialised for commercial use. According to the executive chair of Redflow, these batteries last 10 years and stand out in the market in that they can discharge 100% of their stored energy, unlike most other solar batteries.

In the middle of 2016, Redflow released its first residential storage solution, a 10kWh battery called the Zcell. It is a heavy battery, but has a high depth of discharge and can tolerate some extreme temperatures. Customers can buy a Zcell for around $12,000.

Key takeouts:
Liquid battery means it can switch off for long periods without losing power
Can safely discharge 100% of electricity
Australian owned and developed.
No touch interface or in-built monitoring software as of yet

Tesla Powerwall
...

The Powerwall is a sleek lithium-ion solar battery produced by Tesla – a global leader in technology innovation. It hit Australian shores in 2016 and has already begun to help Aussies slash their power bills.

The Tesla Powerwall has a capacity of 6.4kWh and has an efficiency rating of 92.5%. The Powerwall has a life expectancy of 15 years and comes with a 10-year performance warranty.

While the Powerwall looks great, it doesn’t include a solar inverter or an in-built energy management system, so before purchasing a Powerwall you will need to factor in the costs of these components.

Most Australian retailers that offer the Powerwall do so as part of a package deal, and do not offer it as a standalone product as of yet. If it is retailed individually, the device itself – excluding inverters and installation – is expected to cost around $7,000.
