After announcing the arrival in Australia of its first shipment of batteries for ZCell-based energy storage systems, Redflow has revealed the initial seven companies approved to offer ZCell throughout Australia.
The first ZCell installers are Geographe Electrical Communications (WA), Off-Grid Energy Australia (SA, VIC, ACT, NSW, TAS and southeast QLD.), SolarQuip (VIC), Standard Solar (national), Suntrix (SA, VIC, NSW, QLD), The Solar Depot (SA, NSW) and WES Group (QLD, NT, WA).
Redflow CEO Simon Hackett said each company, which already had the in-house expertise and experience necessary to install energy storage systems, was now approved to install ZCell. “We expect to announce more installers in coming weeks,” he said.
Redflow launched its ZCell home energy storage system at the beginning of March, 2016. ZCell is a 1 kW) flow battery that can ‘timeshift’ solar power from day to night, store off-peak power for peak demand periods and support off-grid systems. Installers determine the price charged for an energy storage system that uses a ZCell battery.
