Lavo Hydrogen

LAVO is an Australian company developing hydrogen-based energy storage systems for residential use. Their technology converts solar electricity into hydrogen gas stored in a metal hydride, offering an alternative to lithium-ion battery storage with longer duration storage potential.

LAVO's hydrogen system is a fundamentally different approach to home energy storage. While more expensive and less efficient than lithium batteries for daily cycling, hydrogen storage can store energy for much longer periods — potentially weeks rather than hours.

For Perth homeowners, LAVO represents an emerging technology option. The system is CEC-approved but remains premium-priced and best suited for early adopters interested in hydrogen technology. Long-term viability depends on cost reductions and the broader hydrogen economy development.
