Solar Hydrogen Production

Advanced Solar Concentrators for Scalable  Hydrogen Generation

Our Hydrogen Solar Power Plant utilizes solar concentrator technology with electrolyzer integration to produce hydrogen from water at the low cost of $1.31/kg versus $2.08/kg.

The 9-meter Solar Concentrator with integrated CPV (Concentrated Photovoltaic) technology is engineered to deliver high-intensity solar energy directly to hydrogen electrolyzers, enabling highly efficient green hydrogen production from water.

By combining solar concentration with advanced photovoltaic conversion and thermal management, the system dramatically outperforms conventional flat-panel solar hydrogen plants in both energy efficiency and footprint.

Performance & Economic Advantages

• Hydrogen plant efficiency: up to 23%, compared to approximately 9.75% for standard PV-powered electrolysis systems
• Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH): as low as $1.31 per kg, making it competitive with fossil-based hydrogen production
• Lower than Steam Methane Reforming (SMR): typical SMR costs around $2.08 per kg
• Daily hydrogen output: approximately 300 kg per unit
• Fully scalable: modular expansion from pilot systems to 10,000+ kg of hydrogen per day
• Containerized design: rapid deployment with minimal site infrastructure
• Ultra-compact solar footprint: only 4 m² of CPV cells required versus roughly 15,600 m² of conventional PV panels to produce the same 300 kg/day of hydrogen
• Zero emissions and environmentally sustainable

What is Green Hydrogen Production

Green hydrogen is hydrogen made without creating carbon pollution. It is produced by splitting water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) using renewable energy like solar power. This clean fuel can help reduce pollution in heavy industries, transportation, and energy storage.

CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) such as the 9-m solar concentrator uses large mirrors to focus sunlight into one small area. This creates very high heat. That heat can be used to make electricity or power chemical processes, including making hydrogen.

How CSP Helps Produce Green Hydrogen

Using solar heat directly
CSP systems create strong heat that can be used to help split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This method uses heat instead of only electricity, which can make the process more efficient and use less energy.

Making clean electricity for electrolyzers
CSP plants can also generate renewable electricity. This electricity powers machines called electrolyzers, which split water into hydrogen and oxygen without producing pollution.

Working with high-temperature electrolysis
Some advanced systems use CSP heat to warm up the electrolysis process. Higher temperatures mean less electricity is needed, which can lower costs and improve efficiency.

Combining CSP with regular solar panels
Some projects use both CSP and normal solar panels together. CSP provides steady heat and stored energy, while solar panels add extra electricity. This helps keep hydrogen production running smoothly and affordably.
