SAFCell’s hydrogen fuel cell technology offers the promise of clean, cost-efficient and reliable backup power solutions.
The problem
Network operators seeking to ensure reliability and meet uptime requirements have often had to rely on diesel generators as backup power sources during grid outages. Diesel is widely available, but generates noise and exhaust that increases the complexity of communications site determination and monitoring. Mechanical diesel generators also require frequent maintenance and fuel replacement, dramatically driving up operating costs.
Our solution
SAFCell’s solid state fuel cell stacks, with no moving parts, represent a quiet, zero-emission alternative to mechanical generators. Not only does this simplify pre-installation permitting and installation, it also eliminates the need for rigorous site monitoring and reporting, and reduces ongoing maintenance costs. SAFCell hydrogen fuel cells also offer greater reliability than diesel, with comparable upfront installation costs and annual operational cost savings of up to 70%.
