    Solar Electricity to separate Hydrogen and oxygen from water
    Sir I am very weak in chemistry and also dose not have apparatus to perform experiment ! Kindly explain me in simple words that :-

    I want to separate Hydrogen and Oxygen from water but from electricity of Solar panel. I want to know that how much electricity would be needed from solar panel to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water and also how much quantity would be separate in how much time ! but remember from Solar Panel Electricity.

    Any solar panel will allow you to separate H2 from O2 since the panel produces DC. You need a couple of stainless steel or graphite electrodes. How fast and how much gas depends on input current. How do you plan to capture the gas? H2 is flammable.

    This demo may give you some good ideas as to how to construct your apparatus. Don't forget that you need an electrolite in the water - such as baking soda or salt - in order for the electricity to flow between electrodes.
