Francois Peron National Park: questions

Can H2OME power a home in Francois Peron National Park?

Yes, that is what it is designed for. A Francois Peron National Park home charges the unit from cheap off-peak power, or from wind or micro-hydro where there is no grid, and runs on stored hydrogen when the power goes. 15 kW continuous covers an average home.

How long can it run Francois Peron National Park through a power cut?

Days rather than hours. A battery handles the first moments of an outage, then the fuel cell runs the house on stored hydrogen, which does not lose charge while it waits.

When will H2OME be available in Western Australia?

It is in early development. Pilot installs go to people on the pilot list first, and very remote Western Australia properties like those around Francois Peron National Park are exactly who the pilot is for.
