Solar panels have the ability to filter water straight from the air

By filtering and absorbing water vapor directly in the air, each battery can filter 5 liters of water per day and has a tank of up to 30 liters.

With about 663 million people falling into drinking water shortages, this new technology will help improve the lives of many people around the globe.

Great benefits from the Sun and the air

Solar panels called Source , installed on the roof will soon be able to provide clean drinking water from the steam in the air. The product was developed by Zero Mass Water, a startup that works on "clean water for everyone".

Water-accumulating sheets are made from a special material produced by Zero Mass Water. This material is capable of absorbing water vapor from the air. Cody Friesen, the company's CEO, compared their technology with a salt-retention tip by putting rice inside a salt jar. Water is more closely linked to salt than salt, making salt always dry.

Materials inside Source plates also operate on a similar principle, solar panels will provide the energy needed to evaporate the collected water to purify water, then the water will be directed through a Special mineral filtration system to improve taste and minerals.

According to Friesen, an Source plate can average 5 liters of clean water every day and store 30 liters. With the needs of a family of 4 people falling into about 3 liters of water per day (according to the rule of 8 glasses of water a day), this device can be fully met. In addition, it can meet the essential needs of refugee camps or small communities.

Solve water shortage

According to WHO, about 10% of the world's population is lacking in clean water. This is a major socio-political challenge because of poor facilities and difficult living conditions.

The inventions like Source can solve the urgent problems of clean water because of high mobility. Zero Mass Water says its technology does not need to be connected to the home's electrical system or any other energy source, it is simply 100% self-replicating. Installation time is only about 20 minutes and has been widely used in places like Ecuador, Jordan, Mexico and USA.

New technology has opened up a brighter future for areas that lack clean water.

WHO said that clean water not only prevents disease but also contributes to the development of rural economy and poverty reduction. Along with many other technologies like Watly and Water-Gen, Source has helped bring clean water to everyone in the world. In the near future, living water is expected to come from the roof rather than from factories.
