Arlo,
 The context of this thread started with someone who was going to use a 24 
watt PV array to solve most of his energy needs. It was obvious that he had 
no conception of how much power "2 amps at 12 volts" really is.
And, if you're advocating adding to a PV array to generate hydrogen, you're 
probably barking up the wrong tree. At least if your objective is to save 
money.
