SunHydrogen Achieves Live Demonstration of Commercial-Size Hydrogen Module
Rhea-AI Summary
SunHydrogen (OTCQB: HYSR) has successfully demonstrated its largest hydrogen production module to date, measuring 1.92 m² (20.7 sq. ft.). The breakthrough technology uses only sunlight and water to generate hydrogen, operating independently from the electrical grid.
The company's next steps include testing the module in a closed, proprietary housing unit for continuous operation with water recirculation. This will lead to a larger pilot project at UT Austin's Hydrogen ProtoHub, where sixteen reactors totaling over 30 m² will be deployed.
Positive
- Successfully demonstrated commercial-size 1.92 m² hydrogen module
- Technology operates independently from electrical grid
- Planned expansion to 16 reactors at UT Austin's Hydrogen ProtoHub
- System integrates solar collection and hydrogen production in a single unit
Negative
- Technology still requires further testing in closed system
- Commercial viability yet to be proven

Iowa City, Iowa, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SunHydrogen, Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR), developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water, today announced the successful live operation of its 1.92 m² (20.7 sq. ft.) hydrogen module. A video of this demonstration can be found at https://www.sunhydrogen.com/video. Conducted in an open prototype housing, the demonstration marks a pivotal milestone in the company’s path toward commercial-scale, renewable hydrogen production.
The 1.92m² hydrogen module, which uses only sunlight and water to produce hydrogen, represents the most advanced version of SunHydrogen’s proprietary hydrogen production technology. Engineered to operate independent of the electrical grid, the system integrates solar collection and hydrogen production into a single unit, offering a modular and scalable solution for distributed renewable hydrogen.
“This successful demonstration of the commercial-size reactor underscores the progress we’ve made in bringing our technology out of the lab and into the real world,” said Tim Young, CEO of SunHydrogen.
"Our 1.92 m² module demonstrates that hydrogen production directly from sunlight and water can progress beyond the laboratory to become a commercially viable clean energy solution," said Dr. Syed Mubeen, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at SunHydrogen.
Building on this milestone, SunHydrogen will next test its 1.92 m² hydrogen module inside a closed, specially designed proprietary housing unit for continuous operation. In this configuration, hydrogen and oxygen will be extracted continuously while the water is recirculated. Demonstrating continuous, closed‑system operation will form the cornerstone of SunHydrogen’s upcoming pilot, which is planned to deploy sixteen such hydrogen reactors totaling over 30 m² of active area at UT Austin’s Hydrogen ProtoHub.
With this year’s launch of our multi-panel solar-to-hydrogen system at UT Austin’s Hydrogen ProtoHub, we will be advancing towards commercial viability—bringing us closer to delivering cost-effective, decentralized hydrogen production solutions worldwide.
