Fuel cell and solar energy

EFOY Pro + Solar: 100 % reliable power in any kind of weather

Certain security facilities allow for the use of solar systems. You can prevent the risk of a system failure by combining an EFOY Pro with a photovoltaic system. This hybrid arrangement of fuel cell and solar cell combines the best of both technologies:

If the weather’s good, the solar cell provides the power.

If the weather’s good, only the solar module generates electricity in a fuel/solar cell hybrid. The EFOY Pro remains in standby mode and solar generation keeps fuel consumption low.

In bad weather, darkness, or winter, the fuel cell kicks in.

Solar cells will not deliver enough current to batteries in bad weather with the result that voltage drops. Once the battery level dips below a certain threshold, the fuel cell cuts in automatically and recharges the battery. It then reverts to standby mode – again fully automatically.

Cost-effective operation

A fuel/solar cell hybrid is a cost effective solution. Solar cells and battery do not need to be oversized to compensate for spells of bad weather. That saves space. A relatively small, lightweight battery is all that is needed, which in turn lowers the demands placed on housings and mounting brackets. A fuel cell, on the other hand, only consumes fuel if the weather’s bad, which means that fuel cartridges go a lot further.

Easy to integrate

The Plug & Play feature allows you to combine the EFOY Pro easily with new or existing solar systems.
