Complete Off-Grid System with Solar Panel
Custom Stacked-Plate Electrolyzer
Gas Separation & Collection System
Minor Bachelor of Technology project in Electrical & Electronics Engineering at MAIT, focused on renewable hydrogen generation through solar-powered electrolysis. The build uses a photovoltaic DC source, custom HHO cell, stacked electrode design, and gas separation path for practical demonstration.
Hydrogen is an important clean energy carrier and storage pathway. This minor project demonstrates a practical off-grid water electrolysis setup powered by solar photovoltaic panels to produce hydrogen and oxygen gases in a controlled educational prototype.
Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity, which drives the electrolysis process in a custom-built HHO cell. Water molecules split into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) gases, which are guided through a basic separation and collection path for educational observation.
The project connects renewable generation, DC electrical power, electrochemistry, gas collection, and safety awareness. It is presented as an educational engineering build, not as a commercial hydrogen-production system.
Demonstrated solar-powered electrolysis using photovoltaic DC input. The build connects renewable generation with an electrochemical load and shows the electrical conditions needed for gas formation.
Hand-built electrolyzer cell with stacked stainless-steel electrodes, insulated spacing, a transparent housing, and a simple fluid/gas path for observation during testing.
Shows the engineering link between renewable DC power, water electrolysis, gas handling, and safety awareness in a compact academic prototype.
| Engineering Area | Build Detail | What It Demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| Solar input | PV panel supplying DC power directly to the prototype | Renewable source integration with an electrochemical load |
| Electrolyzer cell | Stacked stainless-steel electrode assembly in a transparent housing | Electrode spacing, conductivity, and gas formation behavior |
| Gas path | Water reservoir, bubbler, tubing, and basic pressure-relief consideration | Safe observation and separation awareness in a lab-scale build |
| Academic context | MAIT Bachelor EEE minor project completed in 2023 | Clean-energy engineering, documentation, assembly, and testing practice |
Scope note: this was an academic HHO generator demonstration. The page presents the prototype design, solar input, electrolysis cell, and safety-aware gas handling, without claiming commercial hydrogen output.
