How the system works - an overview
Hydrogen energy system
During the summer months and when the wind is blowing, the solar panels and the wind turbine produce more electricity than the building consumes, meaning the excess first charges the battery and when full, hydrogen is created through electrolysis and stored in hydrogen tanks until needed. When the sun and wind isn't enough, the hydrogen is converted into electricity in to the building through a fuel cell. There will also be a dispenser for refuelling H2 next to the office.
