A photovoltaic installation combined with a hydrogen energy storage system provides zero-carbon electricity and heat to a commercial property in Meckenheim near Bonn, Germany. The storage device is charged with excess power from a photovoltaic installation with 98 kilowatt-peak (kWp) located on the roof and façade of the building. Renewable energy makes the building fully independent. The heat produced during the conversion of hydrogen is utilized by two heat pumps. They are driven by the reconverted energy, which is stored as hydrogen in cylinder gas packs during summer. Although this type of long-term storage requires a major investment making it financially not viable, as a showcase project it demonstrates and makes accessible to a large customer base what is possible using current technologies. This system is cascadable.
