VSUN Energy, the storage offshoot of mining group Australian Vanadium, says it is now looking to the household market for its vanadium redox flow batteries and is also looking at a local manufacturing facility.
In yet another sign of the increased competition in the Australian energy storage market, VSUN on Thursday said it had received more than 80 unsolicited requests for domestic storage devices, even though it had previously focused on larger systems in the commercial and industrial sector.
Until now its smallest product was a 10kW/100kWh battery useful for farms and industrial premises and the like, but it says it is now looking at a 5kW, 20kWh system suitable for homes.
