1. Introduction The PV–water electrolysis system is a combination of photovoltaic cells (PV) and water electrolyzers. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources because of its abundance, and the photovoltaic cell system is becoming the major way to utilize it.
For example, researchers proposed a photovoltaic-Battery- (Alkaline, PEM, AEM) electrolysis system instead of traditional water electrolysis . Its aim was to minimize energy cycling within the battery, thereby reducing battery size and losses. This approach was successfully validated in practical operations.
This results in a significant mismatch between the ratio of electrical to thermal energy provided by solar energy and the ratio required for efficient water electrolysis in PV-SOEC systems, leading to substantial energy losses during hydrogen production.
Nevertheless, PV power generation is characterized by its inherent variability and susceptibility to energy losses caused by natural environmental factors . To tackle these challenges, the integration of PV system with water electrolysis for hydrogen generation provides an enticing solution.
In the first one topology, solar electricity powers the electrolysis of water with a simple configuration that connects PV solar panels directly to the electrolyzer Fig. 7 a , , , .
During photovoltaic water electrolysis, solar energy is converted into electrical energy by photovoltaic cells, which is then utilized to drive water electrolysis for hydrogen generation (Zhang et al., 2022). However, current efficiencies of commercial photovoltaic cells are generally below 20% (Yiteng et al., 2021).
