Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) produce the highest efficiencies of any electrical generation, above combustion engines, gas turbines or other fuel cells. In an SOFC electrolysis system, fuel cells convert excess power from renewable generation to turn water into hydrogen, addressing intermittency and storage issues for wind and solar.
