HI Coca ( and shout out to Billy )
Been looking into this. One of the issues with solar is that electrolysis of water is a reasonably energy intense task.
Current best processes have an efficiency of 50% to 80%,] so that 1 kg of hydrogen (which has a specific energy of 143 MJ/kg, about 40 kWh/kg) requires 50–79 kWh of electricity.

That's right you read it correct. to Make just one 1kg you need 80Kw of power.. Even with the dropping prices that's still a hell of a lot of of black shinny stuff to consider and pay for in any commercial solar facility.
And those figures are before you have to turn into safe amnomia and then transport it and then re-extract the hydrogen.
Surely at this point you are better just just using solar on site and using that to charge a battery.
IF hazer works like we hope it might this is the only viable option for mass production that makes sense to me.
Just need some market releases of continuous output and it's rocket time
