The order follows an intensive proof-of-concept phase carried out by RESTART and the user over several months at various locations. During this time, RESTART and the user thoroughly tested and compared the performance of other solutions in a trial setup in the high-temperature locations of Saudi Arabia. SFC's fuel cell technology has proven its performance, reliability and low-maintenance requirements, outperforming the competition even in these harsh and demanding climatic conditions.
