Abstract

A novel system and method for generating hydrogen by electrolysis of water from a green power source. Electricity generated by solar panel or wind mill is measured and connected with plurality of electrolysis stacks. The number of operating electrolysis stacks are constantly controlled by a controlling mechanism that calculates an optimal operating number of electrolysis stacks using the measured electricity parameter and the operating parameter of an electrolysis unit.
