Standard system configurations
The EnergyPod Autonomous Micro Power System is configured to produce reliable electrical power for a range of domestic situations, it is particularly designed for users who do not have access to the grid, or who have poor access to the grid, i.e. brown-outs, flickering, or more regular longer period losses of electrical power.
AmCHP
The EnergyPod Autonomous micro Combined Heat and Power System has been configured to take advantage of some of the heat losses from the motor generator set and to give some heat as well as the electrical power.
