Sorry for the dutch article.

I could not find an english article.

Some highlights:

- Energy is generated from a solar panel that outputs hydrogen

- Efficiency is currently at 15%. Current (household) solar panel tech is at around 18-20%

- The panel is made out of cheap, durable parts. No expensive, rare materials are needed.

- No more batteries needed for storage. For household use, a tank can be put underground, which can be used in the winter, when solar output is low.

- Household trials are starting as soon as possible
