Panasonic is eying the U.S. market for an at home hydrogen fuel cell.
The product has been available in the Japan for a year and is sold through utilities. It generates electricity and hot water, making homes more self sufficient.
The goal is to make the unit more affordable by bring its price below $6,500 in five years, the consumer electronics company said the Consumer Electronics Show. It runs on methane, or natural gas.
The problem is that it generates only 1 kilowatt of electricity, enough for a small apartment. The output will need to rise for larger U.S. homes.

Radio show in Orlando. Is your system available to home owners for heating enough water for a famly of 5?
Panasonic says the unit is not yet ready to produce that much energy. The company intends to increase it capacity and lower its price. My estimate is that at present it could provide enough water and electricity for two people.
