Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja sistem terpadu panel surya dengan generator
hidrogen kering (GHK) dalam memproduksi gas hidrogen sebagai energi alternatif ramah
lingkungan. Generator hidrogen kering memiliki desain dengan plat yang hanya sebagian terendam
dan dilapiskan oleh gasket. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental menggunakan dua kapasitas
panel surya, yaitu 50 Wp dan 100 Wp, yang diintegrasikan dengan GHK. Pengujian dilaksanakan
di area terbuka dengan memanfaatkan intensitas cahaya matahari alami. Data yang diamati meliputi
intensitas cahaya matahari, temperature lingkungan, temperature panel surya, kecepatan angin,
kelembapan udara, tegangan, arus, efisiensi konversi energi, Temperature generator, serta volume
gas hidrogen yang dihasilkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem dengan panel surya 100
Wp menghasilkan volume hidrogen lebih tinggi dan efisiensi konversi yang lebih optimal
dibandingkan panel 50 Wp. Dengan demikian, integrasi panel surya dan GHK berpotensi
mendukung pengembangan energi terbarukan.

This study aims to analyze the performance of an integrated solar panel system with a dry hydrogen
generator (DHG) in producing hydrogen gas as an environmentally friendly alternative energy
source. The dry hydrogen generator is designed with electrode plates that are only partially
immersed and separated by gasket layers. The research was conducted experimentally using two
solar panel capacities, namely 50 Wp and 100 Wp, which were integrated with the DHG. The testing
was carried out in an open area by utilizing natural solar irradiance. The observed parameters
included solar irradiance, ambient temperature, solar panel temperature, wind speed, air humidity,
voltage, current, energy conversion efficiency, generator temperature, and the volume of hydrogen
gas produced. The results indicate that the system integrated with a 100 Wp solar panel produced
a higher volume of hydrogen gas and achieved more optimal energy conversion efficiency compared
to the 50 Wp solar panel. Therefore, the integration of solar panels and a dry hydrogen generator
shows strong potential in supporting the development of renewable energy technologies.
