Hydrogen Volks-Electrolyser Australia, how to make money with surplus solar

Power Your Independence with the Hydrogen Volks-Electrolyser Australia.

The Hydrogen Volks-Electrolyser is the key to a secure, sustainable energy future — and the ultimate solution for true off-grid living.

In an era of fluctuating energy prices, it’s essential to make the most of your solar potential. When your batteries reach full capacity, the Volks-Electrolyser automatically activates, converting surplus solar power into clean hydrogen for long-term storage — instead of feeding energy back into the grid for minimal return or letting it go to waste.

Since 2025, we’ve been proud to offer the Volks-Electrolyser right here in Ballina, on Australia’s beautiful west coast — helping households and communities achieve energy independence through smart, renewable technology.

why store electricity as hydrogen?

Many Australian Homeowners have solar on their roof. In the past you could use the electricity converted by the photovoltaics and feed-in the surplus for a good price. The feed-in tariff in Australia droped towards zero and solar home owner realize the need for bigger energy storage than batteries.

What was the solar radiation in Melbourne Australia in 2023?

In this graph you see the sum of diffuse and direct sunlight in Melburn. If you take a look at the Australian Weather data, you will see that there are times with very little sunshine.

The Sun brought only 3,8 kWh/m² in the Week from 28th June 2023 to 4th July 2023. Just as a comparison that is the same amount as 4 hours in Summer. That was almost no Sunshine at all, where your battery risks deep discharge.

How to store surplus energy?

Store access energy as hydrogen. It is so easy to make hydrogen. Thanks to the dense PEM technology it takes up little space for the electrolyzer. The electrolyzer makes hydrogen in Summer whenever the battery is full.

Affordable Hydrogen Volks-Electrolyser Australia

Normally you hear about hydrogen in the news, and they talk about megawatt containers which cost millions of dollars. But since 2020 a little team of engineers has developed a gas generator for average household.
