Taleghan solar hydrogen energy system
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Taleghan solar hydrogen energy system is a stand-alone photovoltaic–hydrogen demonstration project in Taleghan, Qazvin Province, Iran. It is developed by the Renewable Energy Organization of Iran (SUNA).
The demonstration project of the Taleghan solar hydrogen energy system was developed in 1996–2005. It is located at the altitude 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) above sea level. The system consists of a 10 kW photovoltaic array, 3.5 kW electrolysis system with a hydrogen-production capacity of 1 cubic metre per hour (35 cu ft/h), a 0.4 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell, 60 batteries and a hydrogen storage tank. The initial cost of the system was US$193,563.
Another demonstration project was developed on the site since 2001. It has a total electrical generation capacity of 200 kW. It consist of two electrolysis devices with hydrogen production capacity of 30 cubic metres per hour (1,100 cu ft/h) and 40 cubic metres per hour (1,400 cu ft/h) correspondingly. It produces hydrogen by catalyzing water using solar power. The hydrogen produced is stored in special tanks under pressure.
The public source identifies “Taleghan solar hydrogen energy system” as open-knowledge reference entry. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Taleghan, solar and hydrogen.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Taleghan solar hydrogen energy system”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7267336. Authority coordinates are 36.133, 50.567. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2005 and 2001.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
