On 7 Feb 2009, Victoria was subjected to the worst bushfires in the nation’s recorded history and became known as Black Saturday. Chef and restaurateur Dan Zeidan witnessed this devastation first-hand, losing his Kinglake property to the fire.. ☼☼☼☼☼☼ Since then he has built a ground-breaking new home that ticks every sustainability box and so much more, and was later featured on Grand Design. ☼☼☼☼☼☼ The home is completely powered by a 5 KW solar PV array and 2 x 9.6 kWh SoNick heated salt batteries. ☼☼☼☼☼☼ As you can see the 2 x FIAMM SoNick batteries are almost lost in the shipping container that they are stored in as they have the highest energy density of any energy storage battery. ☼☼☼☼☼☼ As Dan had lost his original house in a bushfire it was particularly important that the batteries that he used were suitable to be used in a bushfire zone. The SoNick battery is non-flammable even when exposed to extreme temperatures so they are a much safer battery in this or any other environment. ☼☼☼☼☼☼ The #SodiumNickelChloride battery has an operating range of -20° to +60°C which makes them a much better alternative to other batteries that are to be used in a bushfire prone area. ☼☼☼☼☼☼ To read the complete story about this Grand Design home in Kinglake visit http://gridedgenews.com/commercial-case-study-using-sonick-batteries/. ☼☼☼☼☼☼ If you would like to know how you can get the safe, reliable, recyclable, SoNick (heated salt) battery storage used in this King Lake home for your own home, business or micro-grid application visit us at http://quantum.GridEdge.com.au ☼☼☼☼☼☼ #energystorage #alternativeenergy #Batterystorage #Solarbatterystorage #solaraustralia #gridedge #saltbattery #moltensalt #EnergyStoragesolutions #cradletograve #lifetimebatterycost #offgrid #bushfire #GrandDesign (at Kinglake, Victoria)
