Photovoltaic Systems for Electrolysis Using a Maximum Power Point Tracker
2006 IEEE 24th Convention of Electrical & Electronics Engineers in Israel, 2006Electrolysis is the process of decomposition of a substance into its chemical components by an electric current. The process takes place in a solution by an electrolytic cell usually at low voltage and high current. A circuit with a voltage source and an internal resistance may represent the characteristic of the electrolytic cell.
