SOLAR H2
SOLAR H2Convert Sunlight to Hydrogen with IONZERA Membranes
Solar PV provides the cheapest electricity in history. IONZERA-equipped alkaline electrolysers convert this abundant energy into green hydrogen with maximum efficiency.
Membrane Cross-Section
PSU-TiO₂-GOMaximize Solar Utilization
IONZERA's low resistance means less energy lost as heat in the membrane, converting more of each solar kWh into hydrogen chemical energy.
Handle Solar Variability
Solar output follows a daily curve and varies with cloud cover. IONZERA's high wettability and stable pore structure maintain performance across the variable load profile.
Ideal for Sun-Belt Projects
The world's best solar resources overlap with regions served by G-Hexa's India-based manufacturing, including India, the Middle East, Australia, and North Africa.
Solar PV Plus Electrolysis
Solar photovoltaic electricity has become the cheapest source of new electricity generation in most of the world, with levelized costs below $30/MWh in favorable locations. Pairing solar PV with alkaline electrolysis is the most direct pathway to low-cost green hydrogen production. However, extracting maximum value from solar-coupled electrolysis requires membranes optimized for the specific characteristics of solar power: high efficiency at variable loads, daily cycling, and extended idle periods overnight.
IONZERA's material properties are well-suited to solar-coupled operation. The hydrophilic PSU-TiO2-GO surface maintains electrolyte wetting even after overnight idle periods, enabling rapid morning startup without prolonged rewetting. The low area resistance maximizes hydrogen production during peak solar hours when the most electricity is available.
Optimizing Solar-to-H2 Conversion
The overall solar-to-hydrogen efficiency depends on both the PV system and the electrolyser. IONZERA improves the electrolyser component of this chain:

Sun-Belt Green Hydrogen Projects
The world's largest planned green hydrogen projects are concentrated in sun-belt regions: India, the Middle East, North Africa, Chile, and Australia. These regions combine exceptional solar resources with growing hydrogen demand for domestic industry and export. IONZERA's manufacturing base in India provides a logistics advantage for serving these key markets, with shorter shipping times and competitive pricing from G-Hexa.
