Would be interesting to know in the span of a year what the total use of the hydrogen backup. My guess, residual and could be avoided by using more battery capacity for less capital.

Cost is still a huge issue and is where gas, diesel, and others still shine. They also work without sun. When will someone start mass-producing panels at low costs?
Callum McMac
March 19, 2023 at 12:44 pm
As you buy more the more people will put money into these technologies, at MIT they found a way to make solar panels much lighter, one day an entire house may only be 100 pounds of solar, cost taken down massively and they found a way to replace silver. That said, if money keeps going into solar everything in life would be much less expensive because you take the price of power down the price of everything comes down.

@Callum McMac Seems like it still has a ways to go. Solar is increasing in popularity but is accessibility (cost) improving or is it getting more expensive because of said popularity?

The generator is one of those pieces of technology that won’t be snuffed out so easily (if it ever does). When it comes to portable power, it is unmatched. It is not wrong to use to use the right tool for the problem at hand.

We could really use a couple of those in the flood damaged areas here in NZ right now! And that’s a reasonable price for these!! We should have one in every fragile community and currently that’s most of the country on a rolling basis!

I love the idea of solar power and hydrogen fuel cell. Though, I the case of emergency I think diseal generator would be a better solution for rapid deployment and short term use. Diseal is high energy and easy to transport, as compared to batter or hydrogen, it is more fitting and more efficient per pound (because hydrogen storage takes a lot of space for relatively small amount of hydrogen and battery is dead weight once its dead). It is also more resistant to weather as it doesn’t need solar to generate power nor needing to spend extra energy to keep the batter warm. However I can see it being useful for events of long term use. Such as low maintenance stationary power backup or useful for operations that takes weeks or months.

Water is more prevalent and easier to obtain than diesel. After a disaster, huge fuel ‘bags’ are brought in by the military (National Guard) and that may take awhile.
Hydrogen fuel cells (as you more than likely know) are powered by splitting hydrogen atoms from water molecules and oxygen is the by product (of electrolysis). They only need to carry water onboard. This is a game changer in terms of Emergency and Disaster management!
Ng Roy
March 19, 2023 at 8:51 pm
@NotImpressedwithHumanBehaviorOnSM you need energy input to do it regardless. I do not see the benefit of storing excess electricity in the form of hydrogen over storing in battery, due to the method of hydrogen storage needing complicated system to maintain temperature/ pressure (and fuel cell efficiency). Sure, you can transport hydrogen to refuel the system, but why use the more expensive hydrogen when you can use diseal instead. Green hydrogen surely exists, but in case of emergency I think it’s more wise to allocate resources on the cheaper, easier to access and more reliable option that can be distributed to more people.
Ng Roy
March 19, 2023 at 9:05 pm
Yes, but you need to have excess energy to begin with. The point of the hydrogen system is to store energy that can be use later. If you want to store energy, why not use battery instead? A hydrogen system isn’t more cheaper than batteries, most notably, the membrane catalysis that is often made of pt. Despite fuel cells based on fluorine or sulfur are in development, but they’re as far away as the next generation of batteries. Besides all, the water to H2 conversion requires pure water, an extra step that requires energy. With all the extra equipments and energy cost that needed for the hydrogen system to work, why waste your precious energy on hydrogen instead of battery?

during a natural disaster, the last thing I want to do is use water to create Hydrogen. Solar and battery storage is enough

I’d scrap the hydrogen generator for more solar, add a satellite phone in addition to the installed Wi-Fi, and place many LifeSaver jerrycans inside to filter as much water as possible. But cool idea.

On a sunny day that trailer might produce 1.25 Kilowatts per hour. for say 7 hours. or 9 Kilowatts. On a sunny day. A 2Kilowatt gas generator cost 600 bucks. And will use 8 bucks worth of gas to run 24 hours. I have a solar shed backup system about the size of this trailer at home with 6 Kilowatts of battery storage. My system cost $1200 . Nope not portable. Would cost me say $3,000 for a Trailer. My system also has a 3.5 Kilowatt gas generator as emergency back up to the Solar 3.5 Kilowatt inverter. That generator burns 12 bucks worth of gas every 24 hours and cost me $800 . $100,000 for a 1.25 Kw Solar system is completely useless for emergencies. My system has been tested under actual Grid failure several times here in Texas. No I don’t sell Solar systems. But there is something seriously wrong with the pricing of Solar systems.

550w 38~42v dc is how much a single current generation solar panel can achieve today that you can buy in single or by the pallet amounts, daytime operation business can practically switch to solar with ease today each panel costing 300usd or less in bulk.
In the UK for example it’s about 11-15k GBP of raw hardware can power most homes with a 2000w 24/7 load easily and it’s very quickly becoming a very sane way to cut out the grid entirely and avoiding hyper inflation.
