Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis powered entirely by renewable energy — primarily solar. GH2 Solar designs, engineers, and operates integrated green hydrogen plants where solar power drives alkaline electrolysers, eliminating carbon emissions from the hydrogen production process.

GH2 Solar provides full Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) services covering feasibility studies, FEED, detailed engineering, equipment procurement, civil and mechanical construction, commissioning, and handover. We serve industrial hydrogen consumers, refineries, fertilizer plants, city gas distributors, and mobility hubs.

Under the BOO model, GH2 Solar finances, builds, and operates the green hydrogen plant on behalf of the off-taker, who simply purchases hydrogen at an agreed price per kg under a long-term offtake agreement. This eliminates upfront capital expenditure for the buyer, transfers technical and operational risk to us, and provides price certainty over the contract duration — typically 15–25 years.

Our project portfolio ranges from small-scale pilot plants (0.5–2 MW electrolyser capacity) to utility-scale installations exceeding 50 MW. Plant sizing is customised based on the off-taker's hydrogen consumption profile, available land, grid connectivity, and the renewable resource at the site.

GH2 Solar focuses on hard-to-abate sectors including refineries (HDS/hydrocracker feedstock), fertilizer manufacturers (ammonia synthesis), city gas distribution companies (hydrogen blending and CNG), steel and cement producers, captive power users transitioning to fuel cells, and commercial vehicle fleet operators requiring hydrogen for mobility.

Yes. Our EPC scope includes downstream balance-of-plant components — compression trains, high-pressure tube trailers, on-site buffer storage, pipeline evacuation systems, and dispensing stations. We design the complete hydrogen value chain from electrolysis to the point of use.

We work with project finance lenders, green bonds, development finance institutions (DFIs), and government scheme financing including the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) incentives. Our BOO structure is designed to be bankable with long-term offtake agreements as the primary security comfort.

GH2 Solar follows international certification standards including CertifHy and ISO 19880 series, and aligns with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency's (BEE) Green Hydrogen Standard (GHS) for Indian projects. Each kilogram of hydrogen produced is traceable to verifiable renewable electricity generation, supporting our clients' ESG and regulatory reporting.

GH2 Solar develops ground-mounted utility-scale solar farms, rooftop and carport solar installations, and hybrid solar-BESS-hydrogen systems. Our solar projects are designed primarily as dedicated renewable energy sources for on-site hydrogen production, though we also develop commercial and industrial (C&I) solar assets for direct power consumers.

Yes. Alongside our integrated green hydrogen projects, we provide turnkey solar EPC services to C&I clients, developers, and utilities. Services cover site assessment, shadow analysis, module and inverter selection, structural design, grid interconnection, O&M contracts, and performance monitoring.

GH2 Solar primarily specifies high-efficiency bifacial mono-PERC and TOPCon modules, which offer superior energy yield over a project's lifetime. Module selection is optimised based on site irradiation data, land availability, and economics — we are technology-agnostic and source from Tier-1 manufacturers to meet bankability requirements.

Our team manages the complete grid integration process including load flow studies, short circuit analysis, protection coordination, CEA/DISCOM/STU interconnection applications, and commissioning of grid-tied inverters and metering. For off-grid or captive projects, we design islanded systems with appropriate storage and controls.

We offer contractual performance guarantees including minimum annual energy generation (P90 basis), plant availability (typically ≥98%), and module degradation limits. Performance is monitored via our remote SCADA and CMMS platforms, with periodic energy audits against the contractual baseline.

GH2 Solar works with Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells for distributed power and mobility applications, and with solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) for industrial combined heat and power (CHP) use cases. Our system integration capability covers fuel supply, power conditioning, thermal management, and grid/load interface design.

Absolutely. GH2 Solar designs closed-loop renewable energy systems where solar-powered electrolysers produce green hydrogen that is stored and later reconverted to electricity via fuel cells during periods of low solar generation. This configuration provides firm, dispatchable renewable power without relying on the grid.

PEM fuel cell electrical efficiency typically ranges between 50–60% (LHV basis), with overall system efficiency rising to 80–85% when waste heat is recovered for process heating. GH2 Solar's system design captures both electrical and thermal output to maximise the economic value of each kilogram of green hydrogen.

Our fuel cell integration projects span backup and primary power for data centres and telecom towers, distributed generation for industrial campuses, hydrogen-powered forklifts and material handling fleets, and combined heat and power for hospitals and commercial complexes seeking 24/7 renewable energy solutions.

Alkaline electrolysers offer proven longevity (20+ year stack life), lower capital cost per MW, and do not require platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts — making them highly cost-effective at scale. For large-scale green hydrogen production in India, alkaline technology currently delivers the best LCOH (levelised cost of hydrogen), particularly when paired with intermittent solar generation and appropriate power electronics.

GH2 Solar is developing domestic alkaline electrolyzer manufacturing capability aligned with the National Green Hydrogen Mission's localization requirements. Our stacks use advanced diaphragm materials and bipolar plate designs that reduce auxiliary power consumption and improve Faradaic efficiency, achieving stack efficiencies above 70 kWh/kg H₂.

Our electrolyzer systems are engineered with wide operating range power electronics (10–110% of rated capacity) and automated stack management to handle the intermittent output of solar arrays without compromising stack life. Cold-start and warm-standby protocols are embedded in the control logic to minimize transient stress on the cells.

GH2 Solar offers comprehensive O&M contracts covering preventive maintenance schedules, remote monitoring of stack performance indicators (cell voltage, differential pressure, and lye concentration), on-site spare parts inventory management, and planned stack replacement programs tied to performance-based service level agreements.

Alkaline electrolyzers use a potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte solution that requires appropriate chemical handling protocols. Installations must comply with PESO, PNGRB (for hydrogen pipelines), and local fire authority guidelines. GH2 Solar designs electrolyser rooms with hydrogen gas detection, ventilation interlocks, KOH spill containment, and emergency shutdown systems as standard scope.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) act as a buffer between intermittent solar generation and the electrolyser's optimal operating window. BESS smooths power fluctuations, maximises electrolyser utilisation, supports grid services (frequency response, peak shaving), and enables the hybrid plant to operate during short periods of solar curtailment or cloud cover.

We primarily integrate Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry for its safety profile, cycle life (>6,000 cycles at 80% DoD), and thermal stability — critical for Indian climatic conditions. For longer-duration storage requirements, we evaluate flow battery technologies on a case-by-case basis.

GH2 Solar deploys BESS from 250 kWh up to 50 MWh per project, typically in containerised, pre-assembled blocks. Storage duration is designed between 2–6 hours depending on the electrolyser load curve and the project's hydrogen production target. All BESS are integrated with our plant-level energy management system (EMS) for automated dispatch.

All BESS installations meet IEC 62619 (safety requirements for stationary batteries) and are tested to UN38.3 transport standards. Fire suppression systems, thermal runaway detection, gas venting design, and arc flash protection are standard. Our BESS commissioning protocol includes capacity testing, BMS calibration, and SCADA integration verification before commercial operation.

Yes. GH2 Solar offers standalone BESS EPC and O&M services for renewable energy developers, distribution companies, and industrial consumers seeking peak demand management, power quality improvement, or backup power solutions. Our BESS systems can be designed for grid-connected, off-grid, or hybrid configurations.
