Solar-Assisted Green Hydrogen Production System: A Sustainable Approach
Key Ideas
  • Development and assessment of a solar-assisted green hydrogen production system.
  • Investigation of solar radiation's influence on driving the electrolysis process for green hydrogen production.
  • Maximum hydrogen production of 2952 mL achieved at 13 V after 60 minutes of operation.
  • The fabricated electrolyzer found to be suitable and economically feasible for green hydrogen production.
The article discusses the design, development, and assessment of a solar-assisted green hydrogen production system that aims to leverage solar radiation for driving the electrolysis process. The system incorporates a photovoltaic solar panel to capture solar energy, which is then used to power an electrolyzer with zinc electrodes for water-splitting to produce hydrogen gas. The study evaluates the impact of solar radiation at different voltages (11V, 12V, and 13V) on hydrogen production. After a 60-minute operation, the system achieved the highest hydrogen production of 2952 mL at 13V. The research emphasizes the monitoring of solar panel outputs, global radiation, and climatic conditions throughout the process. The article concludes that the fabricated electrolyzer is not only suitable but also economically feasible for sustainable green hydrogen production. This work contributes to the ongoing global shift towards clean energy sources and highlights the potential of solar-assisted systems in green hydrogen production.
