A potential solution for stand-alone power generation is to use a hybrid energy system in parallel with some hydrogen storage. Renewable sources (solar, wind, etc) are attracting more attention as alternative conventional fossil fuel sources. This being used widely substitution of oil-produced and will help minimize atmospheric degradation. One third the world population does not have access clean water most these people connected electrical grid at same time. In this paper, Photovoltaic...
