HydroVolts —
The Canadian‑Made Solar Leaf™ that Turns Sunlight & Water into 24/7 Clean Power
HydroVolts harvests the sun by day and delivers safe hydrogen power all night, anywhere in Canada catering to indigenous and off the grid communities that lack adequate electricity.
Sun‑Harvesting “Leaves”
Leaf‑shaped PV modules split water in bright morning light, just like nature’s photosynthesis.
Safe Hydrogen Vault
Solid‑state metal‑hydride canister “soaks up” H₂ at low pressure— no tanks, no cryogenics.
24 / 7 Clean Power — Any Weather
At twilight a fuel‑cell stack quietly feeds USB, lights & tools, proving true energy independence.
Harvest
High‑efficiency solar leaves capture photons and drive integrated electrolyzers, bubbling H₂ and O₂ straight from tap water.
Store
A compact metal‑hydride canister locks hydrogen into a solid alloy at a few bar, automatically regulating pressure and temperature.
Power
When the sun dips, a PEM fuel‑cell sips that stored H₂, topping up a LiFePO₄ battery and feeding USB‑C, 12 V DC or an inverter.
Made in Canada, Ready for Canada
HydroVolts is designed, built and tested on Canadian soil, so every component—from the snow‑shedding leaf panels to the insulated hydride vault—works flawlessly “under all weather and seasonal conditions in Canada” . Field simulations confirm uninterrupted operation “even under Canadian winters” that leave ordinary solar‑battery kits powerless
Campers & Overlanders
Charge lanterns, GPS units, e‑bikes or induction cooktops without lugging propane canisters or noisy generators.
Off‑Grid & Indigenous Communities
Supplement diesel with a modular, serviceable system that thrives in −40 °C blizzards, reducing fuel costs and emissions while creating local maintenance jobs.
Homeless & Urban Resilience Programs
Deploy compact “Solar Leaf™ shelters” that supply lighting, phone charging and Wi‑Fi hubs—improving safety and connectivity for vulnerable populations.
Disaster‑Relief & Wildfire Crews
Fly‑in/drive‑in kits provide continuous power for radios, medical fridges and water‑purification pumps when the grid is down.
Why Canadian-Made Matter
-
Designed for Harsh Climates – Every panel, gasket and control board is tested from coastal rain to prairie ice fog.
-
Local Supply Chains – Nickel‑iron catalysts, aluminum enclosures and hydride alloys are sourced and fabricated domestically, supporting skilled Canadian labour.
-
Regulatory Peace of Mind – Certified to CSA C22.2 standards and Transport Canada guidelines for low‑pressure hydrogen storage—no special permits required for remote transport.
