As an energy source, solar cells can be central to peak load control in different power companies. Hydrogen production can be cost-effective if the generated electricity is unusable. Shades reduce solar cell current and fundamentally alter panel function, making it necessary to restore panels to optimum power generation. Owing to the issues outlined in this paper, the energy-economic-environmental effect of a shade detection algorithm was examined for different shade scenarios, and domestic-scale solar hydrogen production was evaluated. As the effect of the partial shade detection algorithm on the amount of solar hydrogen production has not been investigated quantitatively so far, this issue was discussed in this study. The algorithm and laboratory equipment developed by the authors were used to detect the partial shadow. Thanks to the respected reviewer, the following sentence was added to the abstract. The analyses in HOMER V2.81 software used 20-year average data for a residential building in the city of Tehran obtained from the NASA website. The results recommended that the designed algorithm increases hydrogen production in different scenarios between 5.8% and 32.9%. The results also revealed that the designed algorithm significantly lessen the pollutants between 100 kg/year and 240 kg/year.

“…There are two categories where solar desalination is applied, those are; direct and indirect techniques, the direct method means that both the desalination process and solar radiation are collected at the same location, whereas the indirect is the opposite, as the collection of solar radiation in an indirect way to be used in different locations [6,14].

“…Post-treatment if needed such as adding a few minerals. Different ways are used in water desalination with the aim of producing freshwater, and the most common ways are Reverse Osmosis, Multi-stage Flash Process, and Multi Effect distillation [5,6]. Using thermal energy in running the desalination plans by using fossil fuels, was seen to require a huge amount of energy which makes it unviable from both sides; economically and ecologically which mainly affects global warming and it's not a permanent energy source [7,8].…”

The abundance of drinking water is necessary for daily needs, but recently it has become a worrying obsession worldwide, as it requires the use of fossil fuels for its production, and since the whole world is moving to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, it was necessary to think about using alternative renewable energy in the production of drinking water and that was through desalination of salty water. Solar energy has been widely used. The methods that use solar power are divided into direct and indirect, which include several steps, and the solar energy systems used are varied. In the present study, desalination methods and some types of solar energy systems used are mentioned with a comparison of the amount of production and costs, in addition to the improvement resulting from the use of PCM. It was found that the solar Fresnel lens system is the most effective in producing fresh water compared with its cost. The solar desalination stations in Jordan are 29 and only 1 solar-powered desalination plant out of them, but the universities and independent factories have their solar deamination systems.

“…Renewable hybrid systems are effectively used in another applications rather than charging the electric vehicles. In [31], the idea of using the hybrid renewable energy system is applied to discuss an important another application which is water desalination in Jordan. The best scenario is achieved by having solar PV, wind, and diesel generator with a battery storage.…”

The rapid deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) in Jordan requires massive efforts to prepare the infrastructures that serve the transportation sector. The lack of EV charging stations is the major obstacle that faces EV drivers. Utilizing renewable energy in EV charging stations contributes to the spread of these stations. Renewable energy technologies are environmentally friendly as they mitigate greenhouse gases that cause the global warming phenomenon. In this paper, an EV charging station, based on a PV-biodiesel-battery hybrid system, is investigated. The importance of this article is to discuss the hybrid system of PV and waste vegetable oil (WVO) along with storage that applies the maximum reliability supply, having an environmentally friendly supply and achieving the lowest energy cost of charging. This station is designed based on renewable and WVO utilization. In fact, WVO, coming from restaurants, is exploited to produce electricity by a diesel generator through direct burning after converting it into biodiesel. The capacity of each station is 14 cars/day with a medium-speed charger of 7 kW. The system is simulated and optimized using iHOGA software where multiobjective optimization is applied to achieve the minimum net present cost (NPC) and CO2 emissions considering three cases, PV-diesel, PV-biodiesel, and PV-WVO, all with battery-hybrid system. These values for the EV charging station that uses the PV-biodiesel-battery hybrid system are 624408 € and 15.4 tons/year, respectively. The corresponding values are 781473 € and 15.14 tons/year and 615310 € and 18.84 tons/year for the systems that work with diesel and WVO, respectively, and energy cost is achieved in best solution to be 0.11 Euro/kWh. Simulation results show that the proposed technique led to enhanced operational efficiency in terms of both NPC and annual CO2 emissions.
