Abstract

Water purification is a term used to describe the process of converting unclean water into clean, drinkable water. The concept of converting unclean water into clean water is an old concept that has been used since ancient times. In modern times, as years go by technology advances and new methods of purifying water are developed, access to clean, drinkable water is still a problem for many people around the world, especially in places where clean water is not accessible. Two popular methods of purifying water are used today: reverse osmosis and UV light. The problem with both methods is reverse osmosis kills all the minerals in the water, leaving a pure liquid with no minerals for the consumer to benefit from. UV light is an expensive method that not everyone can afford. To solve the problems of modern methods, a solar-powered water purification system is introduced. Solar panel with photovoltaic (PV) mechanism is used in water purification system to be a clean source for the environment and the system to operate. The system is designed to be easy to install anywhere, especially in rural areas where access to clean water is difficult. The water purification system uses a boiling method to purify water, which does not deprive the consumer of the minerals in the water. It is also manufactured using standard components, making it affordable for the majority of people.
