Solhyd gives a sneak preview of a new generation of hydrogen panels!

To make their hydrogen panels ready for real-life applications, Solhyd is developing a new generation of panels together with the product development experts of Comate. A sneak preview of our joint efforts was presented during an interview at the Leuven And& festival. 

KU Leuven and Fluxys team up to test hydrogen panels

Fluxys recently installed several of these panels on the green roof of its Anderlecht lab with a view to joining forces with the university and conducting extensive tests for a year.

Measuring and analysing production

By testing the panels at the Fluxys site, KU Leuven is drawing on the group’s specific know-how at its lab in Anderlecht, which is a centre of expertise in Belgium when it comes to measuring gas volumes and analysing the composition of gases (gas chromatography). This is also what Fluxys is concentrating on at the test site.

“The hydrogen panels are set up facing different directions,” says Jan Rongé, a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven. “The measurements and analyses conducted at the Fluxys lab will highlight variations in the production profile and hydrogen composition depending on the direction of the panels, the weather conditions, the time of day and the season. We can then use these data to further hone the technology.”
