In this podcast, Beyond Zero radio talk to A/Professor Roger Davies, Managing Director of Fluid Solar whose company's Adelaide headquarters, has cut itself from the electricity grid. The 4-storey office building is powered by a combination of thermal and PV solar and wind energy.

"The $8 million Fluid Solar headquarters in Adelaide’s northern suburbs contains more than 2MWh of energy storage capacity, comprising about 90% thermal storage with the remaining 10% provided by conventional battery storage. Fluid Solar House has been operating without the use of the electricity grid since April to test its technologies.” [Photo supplied by Roger Davies]
