Renewable energies are an increasingly recurring theme in the face of the evolution of the energy situation in the world panorama, and photovoltaic panels are increasingly common in homes in Europe.

These are hydrogen panels which, connected to the solar panels at the bottom, would be able to capture water molecules to produce a electrolysis process and get hydrogen at zero cost.
This way you could pay for a house’s heating and electricity for months, and all in a clean way that can also be stored in warehouses for use at other times.
Hydrogen wants to revolutionize solar panels
These hydrogen panels were developed by Solhyd, and, placed under conventional photovoltaic panels, have the function of using the water molecules they capture to carry out an electrolysis process. to separate hydrogen from oxygen.
The hydrogen could be stored in tanks next to the house where the plates are installed, or it could be transported by pipes, and the good thing is that its only emission is oxygen, it is therefore a totally clean energy.
However, it must be taken into account that the hydrogen that would be stored would be at low pressure, which is a safe way to store and transport it, although it is true that to optimize storage, compression would have to be carried out, although this, according to the company, would not be a problem.
Some of its requirements are that the climate is not excessively dry, but that there is a certain ambient humidity so that the electrolysis process can take place correctly.
These hydrogen panels will begin mass production in the next year 2023, although the company expects that It is only in 2026 that they will reach a production level of 5,000 or 6,000 units per year, this would allow them to cover a significantly higher demand.
