Lavo develops hydrogen storage for the home

LAVO domestic hydrogen plant

Mit Wasserleitung und Solarzellen können Australier nun selbst Wasserstoff erzeugen und später zu Strom machen. Das System konkurriert mit Teslas Powerwall.Ein Lavo Green Energy Storage System ist knapp 1,7 Meter hoch gut 1,2 Meter breit und 40 Zentimeter tief. Für mehr als 5 kW Dauerleistung können mehrere Systeme parallel betrieben werden.

Excerpt Golem.de:

The Australian company Lavo has developed a storage system with an electrolyzer and fuel cell that can generate electricity from the Solaranlage stored on the roof.

Hydrogen is considered the energy carrier for the energy turnaround: Electricity from renewable sources that cannot be fed into the grid is to power electrolysers that produce hydrogen. The Australian company Lavo has developed a hydrogen storage system for the domestic solar system.

The hydrogen Battery System from Lavo consists of an electrolyzer, a hydrogen tank and a fuel cell. When the electricity from the solar system on the roof is not needed, it is stored in the form of hydrogen. This then serves as fuel for the fuel cell when the solar system is not supplying electricity.

Hydrogen is stored in metal hydride

The system is about 1.70 m high, 1.20 m wide and weighs over 320 kg. The hydrogen is stored in a metal hydride at a pressure of 35 bar. In the process, the hydrogen atoms are incorporated into the metal lattice. The advantage of such a storage system is the low pressure.
