 ABSTRACT

This project “SOLAR WATER REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM” discusses the

design and construction of a solar powered water purification system. An ultraviolet

water treatment system was designed and built to demonstrate the capability of off the

grid water treatment. The system is specifically designed for the destruction of bacterial

contaminants and to meet the needs. Only sunlight is required to power the purification

system. A double solar panel of 12volt 40 Watt collects energy from sunlight and

charges 24V battery. The stored electricity is used to power a 11 Watt ultraviolet bulb.

The UV radiation disrupts the bacteria and produces a source of potable water.

Due to Poor quality of water and presence of chemical/ bacteriological contamination,

many water borne diseases are spread, which causes untold misery, and in several

cases even death, Every year India is losing 73 million peoples due to water borne

diseases, more than 37.7 million people affected and 1 lakhs people die of water–borne

diseases. India especially in rural area needs safe & hygienic drinking water. Most of the

area in rural area is without electric supply or regular power cut. So, it is essential to set

up Solar Powered water treatment plant (RO) in rural/semi urban area. This system is

designed to purify the Water by Solar with 24 volt Battery.
