This paper presents a conceptual design of a solar powered hydrogen fueling station for a single family home in Wallingford, Connecticut, USA. Sixty high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) solar panels (Total capacity: 18.9?kW) account for approximately 94.7 % of the hydrogen home¡¯s power consumption. The fueling station consists of a 165?bar high pressure electrolyzer for on-site production of 2.24?kg/day of hydrogen, three-bank cascade configuration storage tanks (4.26?kg of Hb xmlns="""">2b> at 350?bar) and a SAE J2600 compliant hydrogen nozzle. The system produces 0.8?kg/day of hydrogen for a fuel cell vehicle with an average commute of 56?km/day (Fuel mileage: 71?km/kg Hb xmlns="""">2b>). Safety codes and standards applicable at the facility are described, and a well-to-wheel analysis is performed to contrast the carbon dioxide emissions of conventional gasoline and fuel cell vehicles. The energy efficiency obtained by incorporating a solar-hydrogen system for residential applications is also computed.
