Can we use fuel cell as an energy source rather than Solar PV?

01 January 2017 1 8K Report

What are the advantages and dis advantages over the other

Solar PV is converting solar irradiance into electricity: the energy source comes from the sun. A fuel cell cell just converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity: Hydrogen has to be provided and usually energy is necessary to produce it - so a fuel cell is not a source of energy.
