Fuel cell designed specifically for business continuity market

Less than a year after the first prototype, Turin-based Electro Power Systems SpA has started industrial production of Electro7, one of the first European fuel cell systems designed for back-up applications and the business continuity market. The product has just obtained CE certification, a very important achievement as the CE mark enables sales under internationally recognized safety and quality standards.

Electro7 uses pure hydrogen to generate clean power and, in the case of a power-outage, it starts up in 7 milliseconds. A single hydrogen cylinder offers up to 2 hours of autonomy (for longer autonomy just add one or more cylinders). This makes it a very efficient and cost-effective business continuity solution for companies needing reliable and long-running back-up power.

Electro7 is available in various versions with three different voltage outputs; it can be controlled via the Internet or GSM, can be installed indoor or outdoor and can be grid-connected or stand-alone. In operation it is noiseless and clean, is not affected by temperature, has low maintenance costs, and doesn’t create problems of recycling or disposal.
