  • Abstract:
  • Renewable energy resources such as solar energy is constantly replenished and will never run out. Reverse osmosis is one of the processes that makes desalination (or removing salt from seawater) possible. Beyond that, reverse osmosis is used for recycling, wastewater treatment, and can even produce energy. Reverse Osmosis has however found use in several small-town areas. Here, the treatment of brackish water, with typically high levels of hardness or Fluoride content, has been favored by Reverse Osmosis as opposed to Ion Exchange and other technologies. In this project, we use solar energy to actuate the reverse osmosis process. We use 24V solar panel and 24V battery to store the solar power, So that during night time we won’t be running out of power. Solar Powered Reverse osmosis water systems can purify water from any source such as rivers, ponds and bore wells and delivers safe drinking water, in addition these systems are highly suitable for military camps, village areas and fairs and tourist places where arrangement of temporary drinking water is a prime requisite at minimal price. Since Reverse Osmosis systems becomes cheaper and easier to handle the latest developments are to combine proven photovoltaic technology (PV) with proven Reverse Osmosis technology. The results is an economical solution that provides always clean water on a decentralized and renewable basis.
