DC PV grids can be used for key industries such as Solar Hydrogen production, Solar Concrete, Solar Steel. When an inverter is not required to create AC electricity in the first place, the base hardware component cost drops about 50% in cost. Thus, economic analyses, for example for Solar Hydrogen, can look much more positive in terms of electrical cost - the main cost driver of solar hydrogen, inded, the Seed Eco-Home PV System calculation generally drops from 2 cents to 1 cent per kilowatt hour of PV electricity in the inverterless situation.
