Hydrogen batteries have an average useful life of 30 years. This is very impressive, considering that a typical lithium battery''s useful life is below the 15 years mark. Considering that a good solar PV system lasts for around 30 years, it means you can have only one hydrogen battery system for the entire useful life of the solar PV system.
A solar hydrogen panel is a device for artificial photosynthesis that produces photohydrogen directly from sunlight and water vapor. It utilizes photocatalytic water splitting and thus bypasses the conversion losses of the classical solar–hydrogen energy cycle where solar power is first harvested with solar panels and only then converted to hydrogen with electrolysis plants.
