This solar panel produces up to 5 liters of drinking water per day from the air

“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 connections, and the company has been installing its SOURCE device in pilot programs on homes and in communities since 2015.

A single unit has a physical footprint of 2.8 square meters, generates its own electricity from a solar photovoltaic panel (and stores some of that electricity in an integrated lithium-ion battery for keeping water pressure up after dark), and uses that electricity to drive a cycle of condensation and evaporation that can produce 2 to 5 liters of water per day…”
