description <p>This paper presents an energy evaluation of a hybrid system composed of a photovoltaic farm, hydrogen consumption and solid oxide fuel cell, which simulation involves the electric demand of a household in the Western territory of Australia. Specifically, the study evidence a significant solar potential that provides 4659kWh/yr. However, there is an energy deficit in the period when the load energy is higher than the solar generation. As a result, the fuel cell integration solves the irregularities of solar availability, providing 4567kWh/year load demand and 477827kWh/year of energy delivered to the grid. Finally, the configuration of the system generates 50% more than the energy required, which allows enlarging the electric consumption and the possibility to append thermal energy.</p>
