AFB’s Residential Battery is a cutting-edge energy storage solution tailored specifically for solar-powered homes. Designed as a long-life asset, this VRFB system provides reliable, renewable energy storage for households, ensuring a consistent power supply even during periods of low solar generation. The Residential Battery also supports emerging uses such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure, enabling homeowners to maximise the use of their solar energy and reduce their reliance on the grid.

A unique solution

The key innovations in VRFB Technology that benefit residential users:

• Longevity and Durability: VRFBs boast an impressive lifespan, capable of maintaining over 20,000 charge/discharge cycles without significant degradation. This long-term durability makes them an ideal choice for applications requiring consistent, reliable energy storage.
• Temperature Resilience: Unlike lithium-ion batteries, VRFBs can operate efficiently in a wide ambient temperature range, from -10°C to 50°C, without the need for expensive heating or cooling systems. This temperature tolerance makes them particularly well-suited for harsh Australian conditions.
• Safety and Environmental Friendliness: The electrolyte used in VRFBs is non-flammable and has low toxicity, significantly reducing the risk of fire or environmental hazards. Additionally, the vanadium electrolyte can be easily reused or recycled at the end of the battery’s life, promoting a circular economy.
• Scalability and Flexibility: VRFBs are highly scalable, with their capacity determined by the size of the electrolyte storage tanks. This modular design allows for customisation based on specific energy storage requirements, from residential to large-scale commercial and industrial applications.
