The building we are outfitting has Solar PV on site, an estimated 17,800kWh annual production. Half of it feeds a DC power Hydrogen electrolyzer that is used within the building and the other half is tied to reduce the building loads. Do I only count the half that is tied to the building or can I use all the energy produced by these panels to achieve the 2.5% or 5%?

What is the hydrogen used for? Does it offset power use in the building, or does it go to another purpose? If the former, I think you could count if you can provide calculations showing how it offsets annual energy costs.
