A solar hydrogen panel is a device for artificial photosynthesis that produces photohydrogen from sunlight and water. The panel uses electrochemical water splitting, where energy captured from solar panels powers water electrolysis, producing hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolysis is of special interest in the energy storage context, since it converts electric energy into something storable.
