Solar Photovoltaic Hydrogen: The Technologies and Their Place in Our Roadmaps and Energy Economics

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

Future solar photovoltaics-hydrogen systems are discussed in terms of the evolving hydrogen economy. The focus is on distributed hydrogen, relying on the same distributed-energy strengths of solar-photovoltaic electricity in the built environment. Solar-hydrogen residences/buildings, as well as solar parks, are presented. The economics, feasibility, and potential of these approaches are evaluatedin terms of roadmap predictions on photovoltaic and hydrogen pathways-and whether solar-hydrogen fit in these strategies and timeframes. Issues with the 'hydrogen future' are considered, and alternatives to this hydrogen future are examined.
