2026 →

Global expansion

Government and large-scale institutional pipeline growing rapidly across India and internationally. Active engagement with DC standards bodies and global OEM ecosystem.

Why Direct Current is the Architecture of Tomorrow

Every modern energy source — solar, batteries, EVs, LEDs — operates natively on DC. The transition is not a theory. It is happening now, backed by global standards bodies and governments worldwide.

10–25%

Energy Savings vs. AC Systems

By eliminating multiple AC-to-DC conversion stages, DC-native buildings consume significantly less energy. Actual savings are 10–25% depending on system design and use case — validated across executed I-Mesh Solutions Private Limited projects.

40%

Less Copper in Wiring

PoE-based DC systems carry both power and data over a single cable — reducing copper content by up to 40% compared to conventional AC builds, while eliminating redundant conduit runs and junction boxes.

100%

Solar & Battery Native

DC microgrids integrate directly with solar PV and battery storage — no inverter losses, no conversion waste. The building IS the grid.

126

Current/OS Foundation Members Globally

Current/OS — the global nonprofit DC standards body — counts 126 members worldwide. DesignWithDC is a proud member, aligning every project with emerging global DC standards.

3+

Global DC Standards Bodies Aligned

Current/OS Foundation (Global), BEE, and ECBC — DesignWithDC's work meets and helps shape the global DC infrastructure standards framework, ensuring every project is future-proof.

86+

DC Power Sources

Solar. Battery. EV. And Now — Hydrogen.

Every DC microgrid DesignWithDC designs is already hydrogen-ready. Hydrogen fuel cells generate native DC power — slotting directly into our DC bus architecture alongside solar PV and battery storage, with zero conversion losses and zero emissions. The energy transition has a new fuel.

How Hydrogen Power Works — The DC-Native Energy Chain

☀️
1

Solar PV (DC)

Solar panels generate native DC electricity. Surplus energy beyond immediate building needs goes to the electrolyser instead of being wasted or curtailed.

DC Source
⚗️
2

Electrolysis — Make Hydrogen

The electrolyser uses DC electricity to split water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen. It runs directly off the DC bus — no AC conversion needed. ~50 kWh produces 1 kg of hydrogen.

DC Input
🫙
3

Hydrogen Storage

Compressed hydrogen is stored in on-site tanks. Unlike batteries, hydrogen can store energy for weeks or months without degradation — making it ideal for long-duration backup and seasonal storage.

Long-Duration Storage
4

Fuel Cell — Generate DC Power

The fuel cell combines hydrogen with oxygen in a silent, emission-free electrochemical reaction — producing DC electricity, water, and heat. Output feeds directly into the building's DC bus. No inverter. No conversion loss.

Native DC Output
🔗

100% DC-Native — Zero Conversion Loss

Fuel cells output direct current. This means a hydrogen fuel cell plugs directly into your DC bus — alongside solar and battery — with no inverter, no rectifier, and none of the 5–15% conversion losses that AC buildings incur every time they use hydrogen power.

🕐

Weeks of Backup, Not Hours

Lithium batteries provide 4–8 hours of backup. Hydrogen provides weeks or months. For critical facilities — hospitals, data centres, airports, military installations, government complexes — hydrogen is the only technology that delivers true energy independence.

🌱

Zero Emissions — Water is the Only Byproduct

When green hydrogen (produced from solar or renewable electricity) is used in a fuel cell, the only byproduct is pure water. No CO₂, no NOx, no particulates. The cleanest power generation technology available today — and future-proof against carbon pricing.

🏗️

Already Proven at Scale in India

NTPC commissioned India's first solar–hydrogen–battery microgrid at Chushul, Ladakh (Nov 2025) — 3.7 MW solar, PEM electrolyser, hydrogen storage, and 200 kW fuel cell. Operating at –40°C at 4,500m altitude. The technology works in India's most extreme conditions.

📈

Cost Trajectory Heading to $2–3/kg by 2030

Green hydrogen currently costs $6–8/kg. With India's National Green Hydrogen Mission targeting $1/kg by 2030, the economics for commercial buildings will become compelling well before 2030 — especially for high-value, large-scale projects.

🔋

The Perfect Solar Companion

Solar is intermittent — it generates peak power at midday but nothing at night or in monsoon season. Hydrogen solves this perfectly: excess solar DC power makes hydrogen during the day, and fuel cells return that energy as DC whenever the sun isn't shining. True 24/7 solar power.

Every DesignWithDC Building is Already Hydrogen-Ready

This is one of the most powerful benefits of DC infrastructure that is rarely articulated: a DC building designed today requires zero additional electrical redesign to add hydrogen power tomorrow. The fuel cell's DC output connects directly to the same DC bus that carries solar and battery power. An AC building, by contrast, would require a complete power architecture redesign. When DesignWithDC designs your DC microgrid, we include hydrogen-readiness as a standard consideration — sizing the DC bus and distribution architecture to accommodate fuel cells as a future source. Your building is future-proofed the day it's commissioned.

🇮🇳  NTPC Validation: India's first solar–hydrogen–battery microgrid commissioned Nov 2025 at Chushul, Ladakh — 3.7 MW solar + PEM Electrolyser + Hydrogen Storage + 200 kW Fuel Cell (DC output). Designed to operate at –40°C.
