All about hydrogen for Canberra homes
40kWh H2 batteries. LAVO home power for two days. Supply & repair domestic fuel cells & electrolysers in Canberra & South Eastern NSW. Domestic hydrogen batteries.
Hydrogen batteries are cost-effective as a household energy storage system. They will provide constant reliable electrical power to a typical home for 2 or more days without recharging. Hydrogen batteries are safe, have a long life and are recyclable.
How does a Lithium-ion battery compare to a hydrogen battery?
When compared to a typical Li-ion battery (BESS), a hydrogen battery costs more, but:
- Has 3-4 times the lifecycle,
- Creates significantly less E-waste,
- Can store 3-4 times the amount of energy,
- Costs less to increase storage capacity,
- Operates in a much wider range of temperatures,
- Does not lose charge like a BESS will.
You can use your rooftop solar to charge your home-based hydrogen battery in exactly the same way you would charge a Li-ion battery.
How does a domestic hydrogen battery work?
A domestic hydrogen battery consists of an electrolyser that uses electricity, usually from solar PV, to split water into H2 and O2. The H2 is stored in a canister or in high-strength steel cylinders. When electricity is required in your home, the H2 is recombined with O2 in a fuel cell. In the fuel cell, the protons from the hydrogen pass through a membrane to the oxygen on the other side. The electrons pass around to the other side of the membrane through a conductive circuit, creating an electrical current, water, and heat.
