Ok, I guess you could not quite understand this.
During the day the PV panels would power the
hydrogen reformer. In the day time this would
split enough hydrogen to power the fuel cell for
24 hours. Due to inconsistent sunshine you
would over size this part of the system somewhat.
Say the avg house uses 4000-5000 watts per day.
A 200 watt fuel cell running for 24 hours would
produce 4800 watts. And you call this a TRINKET???
How do you store this small amount of power?
When your needs exceed 200 watts per hour you
system produces you would take electricity from
the grid. Your electrical meter would bill you for this.
When you use less electricity you send
it on to the grid (for others to use). Causing your
electrical meter to run backwards and your
electrical bill would go down.
Increasing this TOY sized unit to 300-350 watts
would increase the out put tremendously.
