Selected problems connected to the use of fuel cells in energy-system with solar renewable energy are introduced in the paper. Electric energy from photovoltaic cells supply electrolysers in hydrogen generators. Solar generated hydrogen fuel is oxidized in fuel cells and produce electric energy according to the electrical power requirement of the receivers. During oxidation process in fuel cells also heat is generated. The method of waste heat conversion from fuel cells cooling system to electric power was proposed using semiconductor thermoelectric Peltier cells. In this article were specified guiding principles of research and development project of PEM fuel cell and conception of research system made in Institute of Power Engineering and Turbomachinery was discussed. There were presented suggestions and conclusions related to potential application of that technology in power industry, take into account the advanced research level.
