Plug Power - Affordable 5 kW Hydrogen Fuel Cell System

IST is the only distributor of the GenCore 5 kW Fuel Cell System in Southern Africa. IST directly imports, distributes and supports the GenCore 5 kW Fuel Cell System from Plug Power Inc in the USA.

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell Systems
Plug Power is proof of the promise of fuel cell technology with units operating in the field, and partners around the world that are identifying customers who can put our stationary products to use today.

Fuel Cell System Description
A fuel cell is an electrochemical engine, with virtually no moving parts, that converts chemical energy directly into electricity. Heat and pure water are the only by-products.

It produces silent and clean direct current electricity, like a battery, and is able to generate electricity as long as fuel is supplied to it, like a diesel Generator set.

System Reliability Improvement
 • Enable power redundancy or replacement for existing backup power system (batteries)
 • Provide scalable backup power for system outages
 • Increases network power security via remote connectivity

Operating Expense Reduction
 • Eliminates battery replacement and maintenance
 • Reduces personnel callouts during power outages
 • Alleviates space shortages for next generation telecom networks
 • Reduces customer loss of revenue resulting from network outages
