Generally speaking, any battery that's on the CSE battery assurance list, will be safe. There has been others that have come onto the market and there has been a few cases of fires with batteries. But those are systems that aren't compliant to the new international IEC and UL battery standards. We recommend making sure that the actual batteries are compliant to the UL 1973 battery standard, and if it's an all-in-one system, compliant to the IEC 62619.
We have our isolation box. So, within this actual box, we have a range of different protection devices. We've got all our AC breakers which you see here, so this is protection for the actual system to isolate it. We have our temperature control, and also within here, we have a monitoring device for the actual system, and behind here hidden away, we've got our smart VPP functionality as well. So, we find performance and safety really important obviously for our business, but also for our consumers having our battery systems on their property. There's a whole range of different international and local standards that we need to comply to.
We see quality as the main thing for success for our customers but also for our business. So, we've entrusted our key technology and components within the systems to be well-established and trusted brands. So we always recommend going with a trusted, reputable installer, who would often be choosing reputable brands. So well-established brands that you would have heard of most likely anyway. Important is the actual brand of battery technology within there. So we definitely recommend speaking to an installer to get feedback on your site. Do a lot of research online to make sure that you're choosing the right products.
