- Solar and methanol fuel cell based power supply for LiDAR devices
- 3 Options:
- Solar and Fuel cell (standard)
- Solar only (for sunny countries between 40°N and 40°S)
- Fuel cell only (for maximum mobility)
- Customized product to meet any LiDAR model
The solar and methanol fuel cell based power supply is especially designed for LiDAR devices.
The power supply is recommended for all climates, except artic conditions with only little hours of
sunshine.
The system combines a powerful Methanol-based EFOY Pro fuel cell and 2x 460 W solar modules (optional 4x) . The system is equipped with two 28 liters fuel cell cartridges.
The EFOY Pro fuel cell is equiped with an EFOY cloud web monitoring platform. Alarms, such as low fuel or low battery voltage, can be configured. Thus the system automatically informs via email or SMS in case of triggering alarms.
Further we control power supply output through an ON/OFF relay triggered on the Victron cloud.
