At CCAT we rely on alternative power sources.
Power is generated on site.
On top of the house are a series of photovoltaic panels which turn the energy of the sun's rays into electric energy. This energy is stored in a battery bank. Other methods such as hydrogen fuel cell technology are becomming a reality. On days like these, CCAT must conserve electricity. When the wind is blowing and the peddlers are generating electricity from the Human Energy Converter, the batteries can be charged.
