HyperSolar to build commercial scale renewable hydrogen generator

HyperSolar has announced a plan to build new renewable hydrogen generators for commercial use. The company is the developer of a breakthrough technology which uses sunlight and water to produce hydrogen and its first commercial product, the H2Generator, is expected to sell at a lower price than other renewable hydrogen systems that rely on expensive and energy intensive electrolyzers to split water. “We believe that we can offer a cost competitive renewable hydrogen alternative for those who need power 24/7,” said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. “We believe that our intensive R&D efforts will finally pay off in the form of a go to market commercial product. One key discovery was an efficient and low cost polymer protective coating that will allow us to protect solar devices against photocorrosion. Using this coating to treat traditional silicon solar cells, we are able to el...
