Production of hydrogen using photovoltaic electrolysis

Fossil fuels had been used for centuries and the usage of those fuels had made their supplies limited. Solar energy is one of the most promising solutions, which offer an actual clean, environmental friendly, renewable and alternative energy option. The main objective of this project is to store the energy from the sun in another form of energy. Hydrogen storage is chosen for its potential to make a clean energy option and low cost in construction. The development for hydrogen-fuel economy which had rapid increase in industrial application had also influent the decision of this project. In this work, the solar energy applications in Malaysia have been investigated and converted to an electric energy by using the photovoltaic cells. Electrolysis, which is the simplest process to generate hydrogen, is powered by the do voltage from the photovoltaic cell instead of use the battery as power supply.
