        abstract = {The increasing demand for clean and sustainable ener-gy has led to growing interest in hydrogen as a future energy carrier. This paper presents the design, hard-ware implementation, and performance analysis of a solar-powered hydrogen production system based on water electrolysis. The proposed system integrates a photovoltaic (PV) panel, a DC–DC buck converter with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control, an electrolyser, and a battery energy storage unit to en-sure stable and continuous operation. The hardware implementation was carried out to regulate the variable output of the solar panel and to provide a controlled DC supply to the electrolyser for efficient hydrogen generation. Experimental observations obtained from the hardware setup are supported by simulation studies performed using MATLAB/Simulink under different operating conditions. The results demonstrate stable voltage regulation, effective utilization of solar energy, and reliable hydrogen production. The developed sys-tem confirms the practical feasibility of solar-powered electrolysis as an environmentally friendly approach for sustainable hydrogen generation and provides a foundation for future improvements and real-world renewable energy applications.},
