Imagine riding an elevator up to the third floor of your home and sipping a beer whilst overlooking Melbourne’s skyline. This is the reality for homeowner Phil, who built his Hawthrown home with entertaining in mind. Roshan took a tour of this home in the latest episode of Open Homes Australia. Nestled inside the garage, and powering the home and electric vehicle, is the brand-new LAVO Life; an all-in-one solution for solar, battery storage, and EV charging.
A balcony with an enviable view
Nestled on a leafy street in the suburb of Hawthrown in VIC is a three-storey entertainer’s home. Homeowner Phil and his wife built this home to house their daughters when they visit, as well as their new grandson. The home features a large kitchen and a butler’s pantry, a pool and outdoor entertaining space, generous living areas, a second floor with bedrooms and studies, and a third floor that could double as a granny flat. Each floor is serviced by an elevator – which makes bringing drinks to the third-floor balcony a breeze!
It is on the third floor that the extravagance of the home is really crowned. The views are breathtaking – inviting you to pull up a chair and relax.
A home of this size calls for a lot of electricity. As one of the first Australians to install LAVO Life, we got to see this brand-new offering up close.
LAVO Life: A one-stop solar, storage, and charging package
Homeowners looking to install solar, battery storage, and an EV charger are very much spoiled for choice in Australia. The challenge of finding compatible and quality products is often the hardest part of going solar. LAVO Life eliminates this obstacle and provides an easy and quality all-in-one solution.
Included in the LAVO Life system are tier 1 solar panels, an integrated solar inverter and battery storage, and an EV charger.
LAVO Life solar panels
All-black Yingli solar panels are what you’ll have installed when you choose a LAVO Life system. 6kW of solar panels will power your home for at least 25 years – which is the warranty provided. Large, half-cell technology means that your panels will work better, even in shady locations. The multi-busbar design minimises micro-cracks and broken busbars. Solar P44 panels achieve an impressive 22.53% efficiency.
LAVO Life inverter and battery storage
Integrated into the 13.3kWh LAVO battery is a 7kW solar inverter. Not only does this reduce the footprint of your solar components but it encases the technology in a safe and stylish unit. The LAVO Storage 4 unit utilises LifePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) technology that is cobalt-free and some of the safest batteries in the market.
With 3 MPP Trackers, you can install your solar panels in up to 3 configurations. This will allow you to capture as much sun as possible. With an impressive 15-year warranty for the LAVO Storage 4 unit, you can rest assured that your inverter and battery will perform for years to come.
LAVO Life EV charger
Power your electric vehicle with the LAVO AC EV charger. This single-phase 7kW charger is 4G and Bluetooth-enabled, comes with a 5-metre charging cable, and offers impressive safety features.
Available in an 11kW three-phase option, the LAVO EV charger is a perfect inclusion in the LAVO Life package.
Take the guesswork out of solar
Going solar has never been easier with LAVO. As a new Australian solar company to enter the market, your LAVO Life system will not only be an investment for your home but also in Australian manufacturing and R&D. LAVO is taking the industry by storm with its commercial hydrogen technology.
Making the switch with LAVO can also be easier financially. Financing through LAVO’s partnership with Brighte makes repayments affordable. Find out more here.
