Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is broadly directed to a solar-powered electrolyser (10) designed to produce hydrogen from water. The water supplied to the electrolyser (10) may be in the form of liquid water directly captured from atmosphere or air. The solar-powered water electrolyser (10) generally comprises: 1. a water electrolyser (12) adapted to receive water and being effective in electrolysis of this water to produce hydrogen; 2. a printed solar photovoltaic (PV) source (14) directly coupled to the water electrolyser (12) to power it for the production of hydrogen. The printed PV source (14) is directly coupled to the water electrolyser (12) without intermediate equipment for regulation of the DC power supplied to the electrolyser, in particular the voltage and/or the current.
