Listen "E258: Batteries in a Box: From Off-Grid to Global Energy Solutions"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, our guest is Marc Sheldon, CEO of Red Earth Energy Storage. Marc shares his journey from solar thermal to leading innovations in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery systems. He explains how Red Earth's Australian-made, plug-and-play solutions are transforming energy access — from rural off-grid sheds to large-scale commercial installations — and enabling grid stability through storage. Marc also reveals their "microgrid in a box" concept, which integrates generation, storage, and key household systems on a DC backbone, offering huge potential for remote communities, island nations, and disaster recovery. We discuss the shift toward a distributed grid, the role of vehicle-to-grid technology, and how regulatory changes, market design, and community-driven adoption will shape the energy landscape toward 2030.
