But these units are principally designed to provide their Rx\/Tx equipment either with a combination of solar power with fuel-cell generator back-up &#8211; or else they run on fuel-cells alone &#8230;with long maintenance intervals being possible where the power draw is relatively low, and more than one fuel cartridge is installed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/DSC_0464_64805969.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-blogpost-content wp-image-12389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/DSC_0464_64805969-690x458.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/DSC_0464_64805969-690x458.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/DSC_0464_64805969-730x485.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/DSC_0464_64805969-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/DSC_0464_64805969-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/DSC_0464_64805969-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is how a grid-connected installation with fuel-cell back-up might work:<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/inverters-chargers\/multiplus-12v-24v-48v-800va-3kva\" target=\"_blank\">Multiplus<\/a> charges the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/batteries\/gel-and-agm-batteries\" target=\"_blank\">Lead\/Acid batteries<\/a> in normal circumstances. In the event of power failure, the Multiplus provides uninterrupted power to on-board services; and if the battery voltage falls below a pre-set level, the Multiplus automatically starts the generator &#8211; which in this case is the fuel-cell. \u00a0Fuel-cells are power generators &#8230;but not in the noisy diesel sense: At a distance of 7 metres EFOY claim their smaller fuel-cells have a noise level of 25 decibels &#8211; that&#8217;s a bit louder than the sound of rustling leaves. The exhaust is not too troublesome either &#8211; it is mainly Carbon Dioxide and Water. And these fuel-cells can &#8216;run&#8217; for a very long time: Twin cartridge models (2 x 28 ltr) are able to meet a 25W demand for 15 weeks. Or where their role is to sit\u00a0in the background &#8211; waiting to automatically provide essential power on-demand, it&#8217;s handy to know that they have a shelf-life of several years. Another advantage to these fuel-cells is their small size which can be achieved because Methanol is a high energy-density fuel: SFC Energy say that with the maximum 4 x 60 litre cartridges fitted to single cell a total of 264kWh of power is available.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12390\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12390\" class=\"wp-image-12390 size-blogpost-content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044-690x354.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044-690x354.png 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044-730x374.png 730w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044-1024x525.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/03\/EFOY_1200_03_190716_sRGB_64806044.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EFOY&#8217;s direct methanol fuel-cell.
