Japan new hydrogen solar panel challenges China
Similar to California in the US, China has long been a leader in the solar energy industry. However, now Japan is creating a stir with a ground-breaking invention that is an opportunity to alter this association. A group of researchers at the University of Leuven in Belgium has unveiled the first hydrogen solar panel in history, which develops hydrogen from solar energy.

With the help of sunlight and moisture in the atmosphere, this innovative panel can directly create hydrogen, exhibiting remarkable power. It operates well even in the absence of direct sunlight because of its unique material and cutting-edge membrane technology. Water vapors have been captured by the panel and focused, resulting in the production of hydrogen and oxygen gasses.
The Solhyd panel has several interesting characteristics. It has a 15% peak efficiency, can generate up to 250 liters of hydrogen per day, and connects with the vast majority of solar systems now in use. It might produce 2-4 tons of hydrogen per year on a sizable roof installation.
