A special mounting system is used to distribute the weight evenly.
Source water solar panel.
The company s source panels can be installed atop any building just like standard photovoltaics but instead of just harvesting solar energy they use the sun s rays to pull water from the air.
Introducing source hydropanels a sustainable water technology that uses the power of the sun to extract an endless volume of clean reliable drinking water from the air.
With an estimated 663.
Source is a solar powered and self contained device capable of harvesting up to 10 liters of clean drinking water per day from the air.
Collected water is then mineralized for ideal composition and taste making premium quality drinking water a readily available.
A single solar panel can produce enough clean water for a family of four and it s easy to use because the water flows from a faucet on the back side of the solar panel setup.
Source works by.
By absorbing and treating water vapor from the air each source solar panel can produce 5 liters of water per day with the ability to store up to 30 liters for emergencies.
The solar panel converts sunlight to energy which heats the material inside and creates condensation.
Minerals are added to improve taste and ozone is.
Zero mass water states a standard array 2 panels averages 4 10 liters of water production each day depending on sunlight and humidity conditions.
As for the price.
Zero mass water an arizona state university spin off startup based in scottsdale has developed a drinking water solar panel that is a standalone system requiring no wired or water input.
See how it works while visiting zero mass s headquarters i was able to taste the water that came from the panels on the roof of the building.
