  ABSTRACT: In the context of decarbonization with the goal of minimizing temperature rise, the production of hydrogen from photovoltaic (PV) has piqued interest due to its potential as an energy vector. This research investigates the possible production of green energy utilizing fixed photovoltaic–based hydrogen direct arrangements. Furthermore, the study investigates the potential amounts of fossil fuel (petrol) and greenhouse gas emissions that can be avoided. Our solar PV technology is based on crystalline silicon panels with 17% efficiency. Regarding the possibility of electrification, GH2 energy production reaches 720 MWh.year−1. A total of 136252.7 L per year might be replaced with this possible amount of GH2 across the country. The results for greenhouse gas emissions reveal that 313.38 tons and 562.71 kg, respectively, of CO2 and CO, might be prevented every year.
