SOLAR PURIFIER

The objective of this project is increasing the efficiency of solar panel with the rejected water of solar reverse osmosis water purifier. Water dissolves the minerals present in the strata of soil it filers through in the case of ground water and, in the case of surface water, the minerals present in the soil over which it flows. The dissolved minerals in water are commonly referred to as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).There are particular standards for the acceptable amounts of these elements in water and in some cases like fluoride; there is some disagreement as to what constitutes safe levels. Leaving aside the specific harmful chemicals fluoride and arsenic, drinking water for human beings should contain some level of minerals (TDS), but these levels should not be excessive. Water used for drinking becomes unpalatable when the TDS level is above 500 mg/l, but lack of any better source enables people consuming such water to get used to its taste. In order to purify these excess dissolved salts this solar RO purifier is used. The solar reverse osmosis water purifiers are designed to take advantage of the latest breed of photo-voltaic cells which economically generate electrical power directly from sunlight and the latest reverse osmosis membrane technology which minimizes power consumption. The output of RO purifier is 40% filtered water with remaining 60% as rejected water. Water cooled panels can provide higher efficiencies than conventional ones, hence this rejected water is used for cooling solar panel so that its efficiency is increased.
