19. The Schatz project was built with 1980's technology |

and purposely over-engineered to provide a margin of safety for system function.
The 7 kW PV array provides electricity to the aquarium during the day as well as electricity for hydrogen production (which is ~85% efficient BTW) to provide power at night.
It also had 100% system availability and required NO human operator - for years.
...and there were no trucks involved with hydrogen handling or storage (it was a stationary system).
Nice try though...
