Off-Grid Broadband Communication towers on a remote island off the coast of Nova Scotia using Solar for a Primary power supply with a Diesel Genset back-up.
The site is on an island that can be very difficult or next to impossible to get to depending on the season, and see‘s alot of fog and not much sun in winter. There is a diesel generator there presently for backup, but it‘s a headache starting in the cold, dealing with fuel, etc.
EFOY Pro fuel cells are available in various power classes, from 40 W output power for small power systems to a 500 W module for UPS solutions.
“Fuel cell has been running perfectly!”
Fuel cell has been running perfectly, not a single issue, so well that I actually had to make a trip into the site about a month ago to make sure everything was all right. That site has gone from weekly winter maintenance trips to literally none. And in winter 2015 it was bad down this way. Only used about 1.5 jugs of methanol up to that point, a far cry from the 100‘s of liters of diesel fuel we had used previously.
