This paper describes a complete solar hydrogen research plant and outl
ines the safety aspects of its design and operation. The plant is part
of a Saudi-German research cooperation program in the field of solar
hydrogen production (HYSOLAR). It has been in operation since November
1989. Since then, over 1 MWh has been utilized to produce hydrogen wi
thout any major problem. Only two minor incidents occurred during this
period and are reported in the paper. In the light of the experience
gained during the operation of the plant, some recommendations regardi
ng the safety aspects are presented. These are also applicable for lar
ger plants based on similar technology.
