Jeff Knowles: “While I wanted about 20 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of storage in the house, I did not want to deploy more than 10kWh of any single battery chemistry.”Faced with losing a generous solar feed-in tariff in December 2016, renewable energy advocate Jeff Knowles installed an energy storage system that lets him use energy from his home’s solar panels rather than sell it at a low rate.

Not one to do things by halves, Mr Knowles, a former president of the Australian Solar Energy Society in Canberra, used this investment to deepen his experience of various energy storage technologies, including a Redflow zinc-bromine flow battery. The hybrid energy storage system will be on public display this Sunday, September 16, when Mr Knowles demonstrates it for Sustainable House Day 2018, an annual showcase of some of Australia’s most environmentally progressive homes.

Mr Knowles said he had decided from the start to create a hybrid energy storage system. “While I wanted about 20 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of storage in the house, I did not want to deploy more than 10kWh of any single battery chemistry,” he said.

As part of this change in role, Mr Hackett will step down from the board at the AGM in November in order to focus on this part of the business.

Mr Lindsay, co-founder and director of jtwo solutions Pty Ltd, will bring his deep technology background to the business and has held board-level roles for several privately-owned companies.
