The sense I've got is that this is the year when home storage goes serious and gets to be globally taken up," he said. Australian energy company Redflow believes its ZCell home battery system will outperform Tesla ’s similar product, the Powerwall , which has recently also launched in Australia . The difference between the approximately 5k products is that the Redflow uses zinc-bromide “flow” technology, versus Tesla ’s more traditional lithium-ion system; apparently this allows ZCell users to discharge 100% of the stored energy every day with minimal degrading (unlike the Powerwall which has a total life of two discharge cycles). Competition in the Australian home energy market is certainly heating up, with Redflow , Tesla , and now Australia ’s Sonnen all competing for dominance in a market, which is seen as hugely promising due to the popularity of rooftop solar systems in the country.
