Abstract- The growing demand for sustainable energy solutions has spurred research into solar-based green hydrogen production systems. This study proposes an innovative approach integrating solar photovoltaic (PV) panels with paraffin wax-enhanced copper tubes to facilitate efficient hydrogen generation through electrolysis. The system design incorporates header and riser tube arrangements to optimize water flow and heat transfer. Paraffin wax, when spattered on the surface of the copper tubes, acts as a phase change material, enhancing heat absorption and retention. The hot water generated by the solar- heated copper tubes is directed to an electrolyzer where hydrogen and oxygen are separated. To ensure accurate measurement of hydrogen output, specific equipment tailored for hydrogen quantification is employed. This comprehensive system not only harnesses renewable solar energy but also capitalizes on the thermal properties of paraffin wax to achieve higher energy efficiency and greener hydrogen production. The findings of this study contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy technologies, paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future.
