SunHydrogen's proprietary technology uses nanoparticle semiconductor units grown from low-cost, abundant materials to generate hydrogen from water using solar energy.

SunHydrogen's proprietary technology uses electroplated nanoparticles to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using only sunlight. The technology is designed as an H2 panel containing multiple hydrogen generators immersed in water, each with billions of nanoparticles.

A method for renewable hydrogen production that utilizes solar energy to power the electrolysis of water.

A Memorandum of Understanding between SunHydrogen and COTEC to scale up nanoparticle-based hydrogen generation from lab scale to commercial scale using industrial electroplating processes. The goal is to showcase the world's first nanoparticle-based green hydrogen production at commercial scale.

A small-scale prototype unveiled in December 2022 containing a single nanoparticle-based green hydrogen generator for controlled testing.

A German government-funded initiative to advance SunHydrogen's nanoparticle-based green hydrogen technology toward commercial scale production. The project brings SunHydrogen together with six German partners in industry and science.

A solar-panel-like device containing multiple hydrogen generators immersed in water. Each generator contains billions of electroplated nanoparticles that autonomously split water into high-purity hydrogen and oxygen using sunlight.

The world's first self-contained nanoparticle-based hydrogen generation device capable of splitting water molecules into high-purity green hydrogen and oxygen using power from the sun. Currently available as a prototype.

A solar panel housing multiple nanoparticle-based hydrogen generators with 16 times more hydrogen generation area than previous versions. The system can operate 24 hours daily using solar energy supplemented by renewable grid electricity.
