Optimum coupling combination<br />

• 4 PV modules in series—5 electrolyser stacks in series<br />

• Calculated total <strong>energy</strong> loss over a full year is only 5.3%, or about 20.5 kWh,<br />

compared to perfect maximum power point matching<br />

• Potential annual <strong>hydrogen</strong> production from this combination is about 7.8 kg<br />

• Unit cost of <strong>hydrogen</strong> production for this combination is about $22/kg (~0.56<br />

$/kWh) when PV and electrolyser capital costs are $8000/kW and $1500/kW<br />

respectively<br />
