Abstract
This paper describes a miniaturized model of a small size solar-hydrogen power installation with a reserve electricity source in the form of a fuel cell. The cell was powered with hydrogen generated in the electrolyzer in time periods when the photovoltaic panel works in suitable insolation conditions. Hydrogen was stored in a special tank, containing hydride releasing hydrogen in convertible reactions. The tests shown were performed in the summer and in various weather conditions. Conclusions confirmed the usefulness of the model for the design of full sized installations dedicated to summer cottages and similar objects. Modifications of the model were proposed with the aim to obtain quantitative test results needed for designing more efficient installations.
