A Renewable Energy Company

A Busselton nursery is celebrating two and a half years of paying nothing for its electricity usage after installing an industrial size battery and small solar array on its block two hours south of Perth.
Lucy Stuart and her husband Ian installed a 10kW power 100kWh vanadium redox flow battery at their native tree nursery in 2016 and since then has not paid for any of the energy its used.

A Busselton farmer has not had to pay for any of the energy they used for more than two and a half years after installing a renewable energy device.
Farmer Lucy Stuart helped pioneer a vanadium redox flow battery when she bought a battery for her native tree nursery she owns with her husband Ian.
Ms Stuart said since they had installed the vanadium flow battery, they had not experienced any interruptions to power and had not paid for any power.
The battery was the first vanadium redox flow battery installed in WA and was the first of its type sold by VSUN Energy which markets industrial-grade vanadium redox flow batteries.

Australian Vanadium Ltd’s Managing Director, Vincent Algar, was interviewed by The Australian about vanadium redox flow batteries and the vanadium market for this article by Chris Griffith.
Utility Magazine
VSUN Energy had a small mention in this article from Utility Magazine.
With the focus having been on lithium-ion for energy storage solutions, there is some evidence that energy professionals are now looking to other options such as vanadium redox flow batteries, to provide storage where the ratio of power to energy is 1:4 or greater.
Energy Storage Publishing
Renewables storage firm VSUN Energy is bidding to use vanadium redox flow (VRFB) batteries in a trial standalone power systems (SPS) project in Western Australia (WA).
WA’s energy minister Ben Wyatt has given the green light for electricity distributor Western Power to conduct the SPS demonstration within part of the state’s South West Interconnected Network— with 60 locations earmarked to take part.
