People keep sending me this link for a WaPo article on flow batteries: washingtonpost.com/climate-sol , it's nice to see flow batteries getting some love.

A reminder, we are working on developing a residential-scale open-source flow battery and we can use all the help we can get! There are many ways to get involved, feel free to ask here, email us, or hop in our forum if you want to help or have questions about the technology.

Our project is at
