If I'm reading this right...

"The nanogrid at WSMR, provided by Sesame Solar of Jackson, Michigan, integrates several advanced energy technologies into a compact, mobile system housed in a CONEX box. The system combines a fuel cell, electrolyzer, hydrogen storage, battery energy storage, solar panels and an atmospheric water generator to create a fully self-sufficient power source."

...that means this system is a completey autonomous energy generation system, that can simply be left alone to consistantly and continually produce it's own power, no refueling or recharging needed.

Pretty incredible.
