If you have a renewable electricity source that goes long periods without use (like a solar electric system at a summer cabin) or a surplus of energy (such as a hydro power turbine with plenty of water or a wind generator in a prolonged windy period), adding a hydrogen electrolyzer makes a lot of sense.
When your batteries are full and your RE system is still wanting to put out more electricity, it could be splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen and storing it for future use!
For storage, we offer metal-hydride tanks. They store hydrogen at low pressures, eliminating the need for a compressor and the worries that come with a high-pressure tank.
Once you've got a tankful of Hydrogen, put it to use as fuel for your stove, hot water heater or home heater and even run appliances with it! Many propane- and natural gas-fired fridges, clothes dryers and BBQ grills can be converted to run on pure hydrogen with minimal effort.
And with a hydrogen fuel cell like Anuvu's Power-X added to your system, you can turn your stored hydrogen back into electricity!
The process of burning hydrogen to produce electricity releases some heat, which can be captured for any of your home heating needs, making it an even more efficient energy source.
Hydrogen is the best fuel in existence not only because it produces an extremely hot flame, but because the only by-products of burning it are steam and heat. If you'd like to set up a hydrogen system, give us a call and we'll work with you to design one that best meets your needs.
