Hopefully I am op penning a new door of opportunity for home experimenters here.
Low cost battery systems is open of the many things we strive to have to get of the grid if we have solar, wind or some other free energy device.
If we had good cheap storage , and given the low cost of solar panels now we would have the best of everything.
Flow batteries before always had a membrane, that failed and was expensive. This new one opens up many doors to think about and possibly experiment with.

Kind Regards
I hope this goes commercial soon so we get to play with some of them.
