In Iowa, SunHydrogen announced that the company has entered into a technology collaboration agreement with CTF Sola to integrate CTF’s solar cell modules into SunHydrogen’s technology for green hydrogen production. Over the past eight months, SunHydrogen said it has successfully adapted CTF Solar’s commercial solar cell module design to create a 100 cm2 hydrogen module that facilitates hydrogen production with minimal modifications to the existing manufacturing process. This strategic adaptation enhances the photovoltaic elements to achieve optimal voltages and currents, essential for efficient hydrogen generation, the company said. Through the agreement, SunHydrogen and CTF Solar will initiate the production of hydrogen modules for a pilot demonstration involving 50 1m2 green hydrogen panels. This collaboration will evaluate the performance, cost-efficiency and operational functionality of these modules at a systems level. SunHydrogen plans to announce an industrial partner for development of housing units and essential infrastructure necessary for scaling up to commercial production soon.
