Colormaker Switches on ReVolve® Storage Battery
On 11th October, Colormaker MD, David Stuart, switched on the connection of Colormaker’s new ReVolve® battery to the grid. The unique ReVolve® storage battery combines Relectrify’s world-leading BMS+Inverter cell-level control technology with battery packs repurposed from nine Nissan LEAF EVs to store 144 kWh of energy. This industrial level of storage will enable Colormaker to soak up excess solar power produced from their 100 kW solar array during the day. This stored energy can then be fed back into the grid during evening peak, making the business more energy efficient.

Archibald Prize Winning Artist Blak Douglas
Blak Douglas was the winner of the 2022 Archibald Prize with his portrait Moby Dickens. “When I began painting, I consciously chose water-based paints as I felt them to be the least harmful to the environment. I recall randomly stumbling upon the incredible colour range of PERMACRYLIK at an inner city paint shop for the first time. Gobsmacked by the pigments, what allured me most was the strength of the ochre based range which ideally suited me as a First Nations artist.” he said.
