LINC Housing, a non-profit in Long Beach, Calif., has installed two ClearEdge5 fuel cells at The Palace Hotel, a 13-apartment building that provides affordable housing for youth. Between the 5-kilowatt fuel cells and a photovoltaic solar panel installation, the building will generate 100 percent of its electricity and heat from alternative sources.
