SYDNEY, Nov. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EcoFlow, a global leader in smart residential energy solutions, has officially received Clean Energy Council (CEC) certification for its home battery and solar technologies, marking its formal entry into the Australian market.
CEC approval recognises EcoFlow's compliance with Australia's stringent performance and safety requirements - a significant milestone as the company prepares to introduce its next-generation home energy ecosystem to local installers, distributors and technology partners.
"Earning CEC certification is an important first step in establishing EcoFlow within one of the world's most advanced rooftop solar markets," said Craig Bilboe, Country Manager Australia and New Zealand, EcoFlow. "It signals that our systems are engineered to meet Australia's expectations for durability, safety and long-term reliability."
EcoFlow's upcoming product rollout for Australia is designed with installers in mind. Its residential energy systems incorporate LFP battery chemistry supported by multi-layer thermal protection, onboard temperature monitoring and automated isolation of abnormal conditions - all housed within IP65 weather-resistant enclosures suitable for Australia's diverse climates. These design foundations aim to make installation safer, reduce long-term maintenance and ensure consistent performance in real-world conditions.
The company's growing ecosystem also offers significant flexibility for partners. Modular storage architecture enables tailored system design for everything from compact homes to higher-demand family properties, while broad third-party compatibility ensures seamless integration with a wide range of inverters, rooftop solar arrays, EV chargers and existing home-energy devices. EcoFlow's smart energy-management capabilities further support installers by automating load optimisation based on household consumption patterns, solar yield and tariff structures - helping homeowners maximise self-consumption and reduce energy costs over time.
With its CEC registration now in place, EcoFlow is preparing a broader set of product introductions and partnerships planned for 2026 and beyond, aimed at delivering a comprehensive suite of intelligent, expandable and installer-friendly residential energy solutions.
"Certification marks the beginning of our long-term commitment to Australia," added Craig. "We're excited to collaborate with local installers and industry partners as we roll out a new generation of home energy technology designed for the needs of modern Australian households."
Further details on EcoFlow's Australian portfolio will be announced in the coming months.

SUNSHINE COAST, Australia, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast is delighted to introduce Bella, a six-year-old rescued Australian fur seal who recently joined the aquarium. Weighing 50.5 kilograms, Bella is currently the only individual of her species in human care, making her arrival a significant moment for both the aquarium and the community.
Named after Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula, Bella was rescued from St Leonards Beach following an incident involving a dog that likely separated her from her mother. She sustained an injury to her left flipper, required extensive care and rehabilitation, and continues to be monitored annually to ensure her long-term health.
Having successfully completed her quarantine period, Bella is setting into life at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast and is gradually integrating with the resident seal colony. She can often be seen alongside her new seal friends, confidently exploring her environment and delighting in the presence of visitors.
"Bella's arrival is an exciting step forward for our seal family," said Carla Haskell, Mammal and Bird Manager at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast. "She has such a curious and energetic nature and has already captured the hearts of our animal care team. We're thrilled to see her building bonds with the rest of the seals."
As the only Australian fur seal currently in human care, Bella offers a rare and meaningful opportunity for visitors to connect with her species and better understand the challenges facing wild seal populations. Her story reinforces SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast's ongoing commitment to conservation and protecting our oceans for future generations.
Visitors can also interact with the seals in a whole new way with our Seal Encounter experience. Meet them face to flipper in a hands-on encounter that lets you get up close to these amazing animals.
