Stockholm. Power Cell Sweden AB and Soltech Energy Sweden AB have signed a cooperation agreement according to which both companies want to offer “joint developments of stationary energy solutions” based on a combination of photovoltaics and fuel cells. Excess energy from solar systems could be used to produce hydrogen in order to store solar energy and convert it back into electricity in a fuel cell when needed.
In a first project, the companies will carry out a feasibility study to ensure the power supply of the cable manufacturer Amokabel AB in Alstermo, Småland. Due to its growth, the company is having increasing problems with the lack of electricity in the existing network. The parameters include examining what a system solution could look like to both cover future electricity needs and ensure an uninterrupted power supply. Amokabel has ordered an 800 kilowatt photovoltaic system from Soltech subsidiary Sweden Energy, the output of which will be used for hydrogen production. With the agreement, Soltech also has the opportunity to integrate Power Cell products into its offering and to market and sell them in the Nordic countries, according to a statement.
