What is Solar Still?

The Solar Still is a groundbreaking and eco-friendly innovation designed to tackle the pressing global challenges of water scarcity and contamination. By harnessing the power of sunlight, this device purifies water through a natural and efficient solar distillation process, making it safe and potable without the need for electricity, chemicals, or complex infrastructure. It operates by evaporating contaminated or brackish water using solar heat, then condensing the resulting vapor into clean, drinkable water while leaving impurities, salts, and toxins behind.

This sustainable and cost-effective solution is ideal for rural communities, disaster relief efforts, off-grid living, and environmentally conscious households. With its ability to provide a dependable source of safe water in areas lacking access to traditional purification systems, the Solar Still represents a significant step toward promoting global health, sustainability, and resilience in the face of water-related challenges.

How does it work?

Contaminated water is placed in the evaporation basin.

1.

2.

Sunlight is focused onto the water using magnifying glasses.

3.

Water evaporates leaving impurities behind.

4.

Vapor condenses in a cooling coil and collects in a reservoir.

5.

Optional purifying agents enhance water quality.
