This project is to develop a ‘SOFcSOLar’ (SOFSOL) home power system combining the solar battery infrastructure of the Jiangsu partner ZNB with the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) knowledge of the UK company Adelan, with manufacturing expertise from Conrad Anderson. Renewable energy is increasingly used in China homes, but is limited by energy storage. Batteries are traditionally being used to store the intermittent renewable energy but the problem is battery weight, volume and cost. We have shown that fuel cells can enhance the battery storage to give many times more storage and back-up capacity for the same weight/volume/cost, while also providing hot water from the gas grid. Therefore the proposed new solar/battery/fuel cell product to be developed in this project will be beneficial in solar house applications, with large market demand. The project is led by Dr K Kendall FRS, Adelan Ltd in the UK and by Mr Guo Junping, assisted by SOFC expert Dr Liang Bo, in Jiangsu. The UK and China partners have a strong track record in the fuel cell, battery and solar fields and have visited each other many times over the past 3 years. The outcomes will be:- A new joint company to commercialise the results in China markets; New product prototypes for market application in China; New IPR for inventions; New publications in Scientific Journals.

该项目是将江苏合作伙伴ZNB的太阳能电池基础设施与英国公司Adelan的固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）知识以及Conrad Anderson的制造专业知识相结合，开发“SOFSOL”（SOFSOL）家庭电力系统。中国家庭越来越多地使用可再生能源，但受到能源储存的限制。传统上，电池被用来储存间歇性的可再生能源，但问题在于电池的重量、体积和成本。我们已经证明，燃料电池可以提高电池的存储能力，在相同重量/体积/成本的情况下，提供多倍的存储和备用容量，同时还可以从燃气网提供热水。因此，本项目拟开发的新型太阳能/电池/燃料电池产品将有利于太阳能住宅的应用，市场需求大。该项目由英国阿德兰有限公司的K Kendall FRS博士和郭俊平先生领导，江苏SOFC专家梁波博士协助。中英两国在燃料电池、电池和太阳能领域有着良好的合作记录，在过去3年里多次互访。结果将是：-成立一家新的合资公司，将成果在中国市场商业化；在中国市场应用的新产品原型；新发明知识产权；科学期刊上的新出版物。
