Abstract Hydrogen, produced through a zero‐pollution, sustainable, low‐cost, and high‐efficiency process, is regarded as the “ultimate energy” of 21st century. Solar water‐splitting techniques have immense potential to make idea reality. Two promising approaches, photovoltaic‐electrolysis (PV‐EC) photoelectrochemistry (PEC), demonstrated solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion efficiency over 10%, which minimum required for competitively priced, large‐scale systems. Extensive studies PV‐EC PEC devices reported within past five decades show increasing design complexity. To accurately describe gap between laboratory research practical application, basic principles concepts are elaborated clarified.
