related to above Belgian Scientists Announce New Solar Panel That Makes Hydrogen According to Belgian news source VRT NWS, scientists at KU Leuven, located in Flanders, Belgium, say they have created a solar panel that uses sunlight to make hydrogen from the moisture in the air. It can produce up to 250 liters of hydrogen gas a day. Quoting: Researcher Jan Rongé adds, “Over an entire year, the panel produces an average of 250 liters per day, which is a world record. Twenty of these panels produce enough heat and electricity to get through the winter in a very well insulated house and still have electricity left over.” Quoting: [ link to cleantechnica.com (secure)] 250 liters sounds much but that's but that should be about 250*3wh = 750wh, close to 1kwh worth of energy 20 such panels would mean 15-20 kwh worth of hydrogen per day which isn'T bad at all. About the equivalent of 2 liters of diesel fuel. Over the year, you accumulate close to 700-800 liters of diesel fuel basically which is enough to heat an energy efficient house over winter times. Triple the panels and you have also enough hydrogen to drive your hydrogen car and heat your home plus enough to power your home and your generator for night time or cloudy days, all from turning moisture in the air into hydrogen via solar panels.
