Abstract

Solar photovoltaic-hydrogen systems constitute one of the emerging themes in the field of energy generation from renewable sources. It can contribute to global energy decarbonisation and help to achieve net-zero emissions as it is an environmentally friendly energy technology. Thus, the system’s technology is anticipated to keep growing, enhancing effectiveness and efficiency. A solar photovoltaic-green hydrogen (SPV-GH) system is a method that is utilised to produce hydrogen (H₂). Hence, based on a water electrolysis system that uses electrolysers to produce green hydrogen. The approach depends on producing electricity by photovoltaic (PV) modules and is utilised to split water molecules into hydrogen fuels and oxygen. In this regard, it’s important to mention that the common electrolysis techniques are (i) proton exchange membrane electrolysis, (ii) alkaline electrolysis, (iii) anion exchange membrane electrolysis and (iv) solid oxide electrolysis. Therefore, there are many usages for the hydrogen produced via the solar photovoltaic-hydrogen system, including, but not limited to, transportation, cooling, heating, power generation, etc. This work presented an overview of the technology for producing green hydrogen by incorporating a solar photovoltaic system. Besides, this review work gives important insight into application technology development, which will better understand the performance behaviours of the solar photovoltaic-hydrogen system. Notably, it succinctly summarises the progress of developing green hydrogen produced by solar PV technology. Ultimately, this paper thoroughly delves into the review and draws detailed future perspectives based on the critical analysis of the systematic review.
