Abstract	This report outlines a novel hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) designed for multi-family residential microgrids. The system distinguishes itself from conventional photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) systems by integrating Solar Dish Stirling (SDS) technology with Photoelectrochemical (PEC) Water Splitting for both electricity generation and clean hydrogen production. The HRES microgrid architecture is further supported by an electrolyzer, a hydrogen storage tank, and a battery bank, which enhance its resilience and self-sufficiency.
