Hybrid panels: use sunlight and air humidity to create hydrogen at home

The solar panels are gaining popularity in some countries such as Spain, where the hybrid panelsa technology that combines sunlight and the humidity of the air to produce green hydrogen at home.

This is the Solhyd project, which combines the production of photovoltaic energy and hydrogen to generate heat in homes, without polluting and without raising the electricity bill.

According to the Omicrono page, twenty of these panels can supply a house’s heat pump throughout the winter, in the midst of a context of energy crisis caused by the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Those in charge of the project are researchers from KU Leuven, who developed the technology, and the company Comate Engineering & Design, which has created this compact design to be placed on top of buildings.

Its operation is not very complicated. The photovoltaic panel extracts enough energy from sunlight to run the hydrogen generator. The hydrogen panel then captures moisture from the air and uses solar energy to separate the water molecules from the air and convert them into hydrogen and oxygen.

It is quite friendly to the environment since oxygen returns to the air. Plus, the panels are wire-free and use renewable energy from start to finish.
