Solenco POWERBOX - Reversible Fuel Cell System
The Solenco POWERBOX is a system that is designed to convert electrical renewable energy (solar / wind) or energy from play-the-grid mode, into (green) hydrogen that can later be converted again into electricity and heat.
Electricity needs are covered by the solar panels during day time and only the surplus is sent to the SPB™ to be stored as hydrogen. When there’s no sunshine, electricity and heat are produced by the SPB™ from the stored hydrogen.
Hydrogen can be stored for days, but also for months or even entire seasons.
- Excess renewable energy is used to generate green hydrogen.
- It stores energy for long term (from hours to seasons)
- It assists the hot water needs for heating and sanitary water.
- If production of heat would be higher than requested, heat is stored in a hot water tank
- The Powerbox is a triple- zero-carbon system.
- Production, storage, and usage are free of greenhouse gases.
The Powerbox has the following integrated components that work seemlessly together and are controlled via a cloud enabled software platform:
- Electrolyser mode
- Fuel cell mode
- Power electronics and AC/DC rectification and conversion
- Water treatment system
- Hot water tank and cooling loop
- Safety system
- Smart energy software control system
The hydrogen compression and storage is not integrated and is done in gas vessels that are certified for high pressure hydrogen storage.
The Powerbox can be delivered for indoor or outdoor applications.
