Hydropanel
Hydropanels combine sunlight + air to make, mineralize, and deliver a supply of drinking water without any electric or piped water input. Hydropanels make and mineralize pure water for taste and health benefits.
Specifications:
Dimension
Each panel is 4 feet x 8 feet (1.2m x 2.4m) and a standard array contains 2 panels.
Production of Water
Water vapor is pulled from the air with a system powered by solar and then converted into liquid water.
Water Storage
Each panel holds 30 liters in a reservoir where it is mineralized and kept clean for optimal taste and health.
Daily Production
Standard array averages 4-5 liters each day, depending on sunlight and humidity.
Power
It utilizes solar power and a small battery to enable water production when the sun shines and water delivery on cloudy days or at night.
Water Quality
Pure water is created from water vapor, leaving behind any pollutants in the air, and minerals are added; Follows EPA and FDA guidelines.
Mineral Cartridge Composition
One cartridge in reservoir provides calcium and magnesium.
Final finishing cartridge at tap provides activated carbon.

How Does Source Work?
- Water vapor from the ambient air around us is drawn into Hydropanel via fans and adsorbed onto special hydrophilic material.
- Pure water is adsorbed into an air-tight system and is condensed inside Hydropanel.
- Liquid water flows into reservoir and is mineralized.
- Drinking water passes through flavor polishing cartridge before being dispensed at the tap.
Solar Still
Distillation is a nature’s process of water purification (Hydrological cycle). In this process water from oceans, rivers, lakes etc. evaporates by taking sun’s energy and condense in the form of rain. In distillation process water evaporates at particular temperature and leaves dissolved solids behind. In laboratory distillation are performed to get the pure form of water free from the mineral ions and all.
Solar stills are the devices which resemble the hydrological cycle using solar energy. Parameters which affect the efficiency of solar still are principally solar irradiation, size, still material, and the type of water being used to distillate. There are a few more heads which affect the efficiency of the device such as angle of the glass, height (depth) of water in still, etc.
