Herein disclosed is receiving a request for an amount of electric energy, generating hydrogen by dissociating hydrogen from water, storing the dissociated hydrogen, determining if sufficient hydrogen has been stored to generate the requested amount of electric energy, refraining from recombining the hydrogen with oxygen until sufficient hydrogen has been stored and in response to determining sufficient hydrogen has been stored, activating hydrogen recombination with oxygen to generate the requested amount of electric energy. The hydrogen may be dissociated using an electrolyzer. The electrolyzer may be powered by a battery or a photovoltaic array. An implementation may selectively charge the battery or power the electrolyzer using the photovoltaic array. Steam pressurized from recombining the dissociated hydrogen with oxygen may be used to drive a turbine generator to produce the requested amount of electric energy. Condensed water from the steam may be recycled to the electrolyzer for reuse in hydrogen dissociation.
