The Solar Hydrogen Trainer is a 400 Wp off-grid photovoltaic system combined with an electrolyzer for on-site hydrogen production. Using clean solar energy, the system generates hydrogen sustainably and can be integrated with the Fuel Cell Trainer or the Nexa® Training System to form a comprehensive micro-laboratory platform.

The system enables complete energy balancing of the solar hydrogen generation process. Performance and production data from the PV modules, power electronics, battery storage, and electrolyzer are displayed in the included software and can be logged and exported for further analysis. Energy flows between individual components are clearly visualized, providing full system transparency.

Mobile solar modules with adjustable tilt angles and optional solar sensors allow for advanced experimentation in photovoltaic performance and system optimization.
