Preamble by Ph34rb0t

These modules are an alternative to solar panels, also offering way better weight and endurance than batteries. They are set to last for 14 (Kerbin) days, so they should be useful for missions for which solar panels are not a suitable option due to aesthetics or such. Operation is fairly realistic, with some aspects of real fuel cell operation, like electrical yield, amount of water generated by the process, cooling of the fuel and oxygen, etc have been simplified or exaggerated for the sake of gameplay.

• One part in five sizes
  • Group One:
    • early tech
    • 0.625m
  • Group Two:
    • current tech
    • 1.25m, 1.875m
  • Group Three:
    • future tech
    • 2.5m, 3.75m
• each has
  • fuel storage (LFO)
  • battery module
  • fuel cell module.
• future:
  • 0.3125, 5m, and 7.5m...
• On Demand Fuel Cells (ODFC) is a great companion to Fuel Cell Modules (FUEL)

Installation Directions ¹

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies)

I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods. CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools. If you are having issues please let the CKAN people know and refer to the CKAN thread. My support of CKAN extends as far as me checking the checkbox in Spacedock when I upload. Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.
