Lavo will likely find this (admittedly gorgeous) unit tough to sell next to a battery system.

Paint the case green. And add some fancy yellow pinstriping. Like a Surrey.

Finally. Hydrogen is not a fuel, it is an energy storage medium.

Do I really want a tube of hydrogen next to my house? (Oh, the humanity...)

but it's fair to say it could really get a party started in the rare event that a house fire managed to reach it.

You bet it would, can't wait to see the first one on the Internet!

They really missed the critical point, which is a comparison of the cycle life of fuel cells versus lithium batteries.

Safe independence from grid is a national security issue. It’s been too long in coming. More innovation in storing and using energy apart from coal and oil is not ipso facto a bad thing.

40kWh is a bit above a days worth of energy use for the average residential user (30kWh).

It’s Australian so maybe they didn’t think of this, but how will this work in freezing weather. It needs liquid water. I guess one could build an insulated structure for it. It most likely generates heat along with hydrogen.

Based on my current average monthly power cost, it would pay for itself in 17 years.
