However, the crucial factor lies in the efficiency of converting hydrogen chemical energy to methanol chemical energy, which stands at approximately 81 %. Thus, if the primary goal is to increase the thermal perfection of the thermodynamic system, the hybrid system can utilize photovoltaic power solely for hydrogen production.
Here, utilizing the reference system without utilizing solar energy as the computational benchmark, if the hybrid system is more productive externally, it implies that the demand for photovoltaic power can decrease, and vice versa.
