I ran across this today accidently when I was looking up some data on wire ampacity. I thought this was interesting. It is insanely expensive, but I still found it interesting.

Re: Small Fuel Cell
Just wait till you need to buy a fuel cartridge. (non-refillable) And usually, the membrane only lasts a year after first startup.Powerfab top of pole PV mount | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||

Re: Small Fuel Cell
Mike what is the problem? just throw away and get another. Gee they only cost$5000 ea its not like there expensive to replace and you get 180 w hr from each charge. Thats very good news.
You probably now find many people using them in multiples instead of ugly roof mounted solar cells. -
Re: Small Fuel Cell
Haha. Yes, for the millionaire who has everything else and is just looking for something novel to spend their money on. A real bargain... 25W fuel cells for only $5000! -
Re: Small Fuel Cell
One million four hundred thousand dollars for 7,000 watts. Just a tad over the 7K PV I'm about to install. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! -

Wow, that's interesting. Comes to $200 per watt. What is it for photovoltaics now? 3$ per watt or less? But still, I'd love to own a fuel cell
