What is their fire suppression setup like??? Granted I guess they could be doing pumped hydro storage lol

  If they're in a rural / industrial area setting it could quite literally be a fire break around the battery area (bare dirt and no overhanging trees). Fire control in Australia is first and foremost about limiting spread - the bush in Australia goes off if it catches hard. "Mini" pumped hydro is a thing here (in places): https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-01/australian-first-mini-pumped-hydro-scheme-wa-walpole/104655498 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-01/australian-first-mini...

    'Is a thing' - obviously, stalled due to red tape. As an immigrant to Australia I am repeatedly amazed at how long anything involving the the government takes.

    Yeah, he is in a rural area. The batteries are off in a metal shed away from everything else.
