Reliable Power Company, Inc., a provider of back-up and off-grid power solutions, announced that is has been named a sales representative for Global Thermoelectric Inc., of Calgary, Alberta. Reliable Power Company will service the northwestern United States, bringing Global’s line of thermoelectric generators to customers needing highly reliable power in remote locations. According to Reliable Power Company President David Hoffman, “Global has built a reputation as the world’s leading manufacturer of thermoelectric generators. We have long been impressed with the quality of these products and are happy to take the lead in promoting them to our telecommunications clients and others needing guaranteed power for remote end uses.” Solid-state thermoelectric generators convert heat directly into electricity without any moving parts. Heat created by burning natural gas or propane is passed through a thermopile containing an array of semiconductor elements, causing an electrical current to flow. Global’s generators range in output from 15 to 550 watts and can be combined into systems of up to 5,000 watts. Applications include power for telecommunications, navigational aids, data telemetry, remote control and monitoring of oil or gas pipelines, and cathodic protection of pipelines and well casings. “Global Thermoelectric is pleased to have Reliable Power represent our line of products,” said Matthew Chamberlain, U.S. sales manager of Global Thermoelectric. “We are excited about Reliable’s demonstrated experience in critical remote power applications and believe there is a strong fit between their system integration expertise and our ultra-reliable thermoelectric generator products.
