Low-Cost Solar/Hydrogen System

January 2, 2018

Hypersolar, Inc. has announced a patented nanoparticle solar hydrogen technology is designed to systematically produce hydrogen at the most cost-efficient rate possible. The goal for the GEN 2 system is $2.90 per Kg. While a high performance prototype has not been produced, significant progress has been made, including a proprietary high-efficiency nanoparticle solar absorber design, oxygen catalyst, protective coating, low-cost manufacturing process, and an efficient panel design for safely separating hydrogen from oxygen. The process works on a roll-to-roll inexpensive wet chemistry process.

Currently most hydrogen is produced using natural gas reforming. Since natural gas is a (finite) fossil fuel, reforming is not possible on a permanent, large scale basis.
