The solution is based on the integration of photovoltaic (PV) energy with lithium-ion battery storage systems, which maximizes electrolyzer operating hours and significantly reduces the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH). This study shows that increasing the inclination of the photovoltaic modules reduces the need for storage, optimizing operation and extending the electrolyzer’s annual operating hours. In the Seville case study, with current costs and efficiencies, a minimum LCOH of €4.43/kg was achieved, a value well below market benchmarks, opening the door to a potentially competitive industrial business. The analysis confirms that electrolyzer efficiency—particularly specific power consumption—is the most important factor in reducing costs, while technological progress in photovoltaics, storage, and equipment promises further reductions in the coming years. Overall, the proposed methodology offers a practical and scalable tool to accelerate the economic viability of green hydrogen in a variety of contexts.Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)Organización Industrial y Gestión de Empresas I2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/180510https://doi.org/10.3390/en18215765reponame:idUS.
