The growing demand for decarbonization of the electricity sector and for access to clean energy
has driven distributed generation based on renewable sources. Brazil has high solar potential
across its entire territory. However, the intermittent nature of this source requires more efficient
storage systems. This work proposes and analyzes a solar photovoltaic system coupled to the
production and storage of compressed green hydrogen for residential installations. The hybrid
system is composed of photovoltaic panels, a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer
(PEMEC), a compressor, a compressed hydrogen storage tank, a proton exchange membrane
fuel cell (PEMFC), and a natural gas reformer. The photovoltaic surplus produces hydrogen via
electrolysis, which is stored and converted back into electricity by the fuel cell during deficit
periods; the reformer supplements supply when the inventory is insufficient and, as a last resort,
the grid is used. Performance is evaluated for six Brazilian cities Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo,
Campo Grande, Porto Alegre, Manaus, and Recife with different solar irradiance and demand
profiles. Annual photovoltaic generation ranged from 2,164 to 3,559 kWh/year and hydrogen
production from 23.4 to 36.2 kg/year, with arrays of 3 to 7 modules and natural gas fractions
between 57 percent and 74 percent. The overall efficiency ranged from 53.6 percent to 59.1 percent, limited by the low
round-trip efficiency of the hydrogen route (about 26 percent), which makes natural gas a structural
complement. The analysis demonstrates the technical feasibility and the determining influence
of local solar resources and demand on system sizing and efficiency.
