In the south west corner of the premises is a discreet container that contains all the ingredients needed for the generation, conversion and storage of low carbon power: (1) solar panels (6 kWp); (2) a 14 kWh home battery; (3) a 2.4 kW electrolyser that converts electricity into hydrogen; (4) a compressor; and, (5) a 2.3 kW fuel cell. Next to the container are two sets of 27 cylinders (6) for storing 60 kilogram H_2 under 300 bar pressure. The 24/7 Energy Lab is scaled to small households (7) that use 2,200 kWh a year. A regulation system with power electronics (8) controls the different components.
