What Are Solid Oxide Fuel Cells?
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are revolutionizing off-grid power solutions. NEW ENERDAY, a global leader based in Neubrandenburg, Germany, has been developing and manufacturing professional off-grid power supplies since 2014. Their REMOTE generators harness robust SOFC technology to provide clean, reliable energy in remote and harsh environments. These systems convert propane and natural gas into electricity and heat, making them perfect for critical infrastructure like oil and gas sites, telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and security sectors. The technology is so advanced that it can even be combined with photovoltaics and other renewable sources, offering a versatile and eco-friendly power solution.
Main Benefits of NEW ENERDAY REMOTE 400
The REMOTE 400 fuel cell system packs a punch despite its compact size. It’s designed for efficiency and durability, making it a trusted choice worldwide. Here’s what stands out:
- Continuous power output up to 350 watts
- Maximum daily electrical energy of 8.4 kWh
- Best-in-class stack lifetime
- Diesel replacement with low maintenance needs
- Robust performance under extreme conditions
- Quiet operation for noise-sensitive environments
- Convenient remote access for monitoring and control

Applications Across Diverse Fields
NEW ENERDAY’s SOFC technology isn’t just versatile—it’s proven. Their systems power a wide range of applications, from backup power for remote telecom systems to continuous energy supply for weather stations. Whether it’s monitoring pipeline data with SCADA systems or providing mobile power for outdoor events like festivals and concerts, these fuel cells deliver reliable energy where it’s needed most. The technology’s ability to operate maintenance-free for up to two years makes it especially attractive for remote or hard-to-access locations.
Introducing the POWERBOX and Powertrailer
For those needing more power or mobility, NEW ENERDAY offers the Powerbox and Powertrailer—semi-mobile, plug & play power generators based on propane. These units combine the REMOTE 400 fuel cell with PV panels, batteries, and propane cylinders, creating a hybrid AC generator that’s a green alternative to diesel gensets. They boast long maintenance intervals—up to 28 days between refills and minimal upkeep after 10,000 operating hours. Plus, they operate quietly at less than 50 dB from 1 meter away, making them ideal for noise-sensitive environments.
How NEW ENERDAY Supports Critical Infrastructure
NEW ENERDAY’s fuel cell systems are trusted by industries where power reliability is non-negotiable. In oil and gas, they ensure continuous monitoring and operation even in the most remote locations. Telecommunications benefit from backup power that keeps networks running during outages. Environmental and meteorological stations rely on these systems for uninterrupted data collection, while security and surveillance operations use them to maintain constant vigilance. The combination of durability, efficiency, and low maintenance makes these fuel cells a backbone for critical infrastructure worldwide.
