Fuel Cells & Generators

Fuel cells will bridge the gap towards a resilient and sustainable future.

As our aging grid becomes electrified, and as the demand for resiliency and green energy grows, customers continue to find the limitations imposed by traditional solar and battery systems. Energy from solar and batteries will not be enough to power each building sector. An additional form of power generation, with the ability to be installed on quicker timelines, is needed. In the face of blackouts, fires, and other natural disasters, customers experience first-hand the need to decouple their reliance on the utility companies, to protect against outages, and to ensure resiliency for homes and businesses. Traditional backup generators have been described as a dirtier, less safe, and expensive solution. Solar, even if paired with batteries, does not guarantee protection. Microgrid energy systems which utilize Fuel Cells provide reliable resiliency.

Our utility grid infrastructure is aging and cannot keep up.

We often do not have enough power for new interconnections, while existing customers experience brownouts and interruptions with increasing frequency. Our utilities are not prepared for the recent influx of extreme weather events and wildfires. The changing climate is expected to further exacerbate the weather conditions leading to longer fire seasons, hurricanes, and ice storms. As businesses and communities can no longer afford to rely solely on utilities, the need for mobile microgrids has never been greater. The most common solution to grid outages is the use of stationary or mobile fossil fuel backup generation. Though customers can contact Instant On for quotes on traditional mobile backup generation, IO is committed to a cleaner way. By integrating the following technologies, Instant ON can keep your power on, without harming the environment.

Monetizes all resources with its Approved Revenue Grade metering.
Manages, monitors, controls, curtails or monetizes each energy circuit.
Connects DERs, such as generators, solar, fuel cells, batteries, and more.
Provides scalable monitoring and control capabilities.
Replaces the conventional electricity panel and much more!

Insist on IO Energy Storage.

IO has secured a white label high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) lithium iron phosphate batteries for residential, commercial and industrial usage. Energy storage systems (ESS) are a crucial component to improving energy resiliency and grid stability. Natural disasters, and the increasing frequency of grid failures and black outs leave customers without power and feeling vulnerable.

Mobile Energy Storage.

Customers impacted by outages may not have time to wait months for typical storage system installations. Mobile, ready to install and plug-in, Instant On 5 kWh energy storage systems give you power now. Plug into an outlet and become resilient.
