Hydrogen home stations

Hydrogen home stations come in different types.

• A solar powered water electrolysing hydrogen home station, is made of solar cells, power converter, water purifier, electrolyzer, piping, hydrogen purifier,^[8] oxygen purifier, compressor^[9], pressure vessels^[10] and a hydrogen outlet.^[11]

• A more complete home station would combine the solar home system on the inlet with natural gas and a reformer ^[12] and from the storage tank to a fuel cell microchp system to produce heat and electricity for the house and the excess electricity to the grid to become part as a distributed generation resource.

• Integrated systems that convert solar energy photoelectrochemically are more efficient than splitting water. ^[13]

• January 2007 - Australia's CSIRO has developed a hydrogen homestation based on electricity from standard rooftop solarpanels or a home wind turbine with an electrolyzer including compression and storage ready for use, the size of a filing cabinet, the expected market price would be $500 according to Sukhvinder Badwal. Extensive testing of the system will be going on for the next 2 years at RMIT University in Melbourne^[14].
