The australian renewable energy agency arena has announced an aussie first trial of a solar powered water producing device that extracts drinking water from the air.
Source solar panel drinking water.
In the third episode of next level season 2 lauren goode visits zero mass water an ar.
Zero mass water states a standard array 2 panels averages 4 10 liters of water production each day depending on sunlight and humidity conditions.
Collected water is then mineralized for ideal composition and taste making premium quality drinking water a readily available.
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.
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.
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.
The source hydropanel is a technology that incorporates multiple patented inventions alongside proprietary trade secrets making it a one of a kind renewable water technology that uses the power of the sun to extract clean pollutant free drinking water from the air.
Called source this solar panel system developed by zero mass water a startup with a mission to democratize drinking water turns water vapor in the air into clean drinkable water.
Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of the global population.
As for the price.
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.
Source is a hefty device with each panel weighing around 124 kilograms and measuring 1 2m x 2 4m.
A special mounting system is used to distribute the weight evenly.
