THIS IS THE WORLD’S FIRST HOME HYDROGEN BATTERY

Australian energy company Lavo is throwing down the gauntlet to Tesla’s Powerwall with a home battery storage system that doesn’t rely on conventional batteries at all, New Atlas reports — opting for hydrogen as fuel instead.

For both systems, the idea is to soak up any excess energy generated through solar or wind energy systems, as well as provide an emergency ration of power in case the grid ever fails.
