Impressive Development in Battery Technology

By December 2, 2020January 7th, 2021No Comments

The next generation of energy storage designed and developed in Australia.

The LAVO™ Energy Storage System Developed in partnership with UNSW and Design + Industry, LAVO™ is a hydrogen hybrid battery that stores over 40KWh of electricity – enough to power the average Australian home for 2 days. Integrating with standard rooftop solar, LAVO™ generates green hydrogen for renewable power when you need it. The LAVO™ patented hydride absorbs hydrogen in metal alloy to enable safe, long term storage within a secure vessel. Sustainable energy for you home and business.

LAVO™ acts as a solar sponge, integrating with rooftop solar to capture and store renewable energy for use when you need it.

  • Creates Hydrogen from water
  • Stores Hydrogen into LAVO™’s patented metal hydride
  • Generates Electricity by converting hydrogen into power
  • Delivers Power at a regulated voltage to your home
  • Monitors & Controls performance via the LAVO™ app
