Smart solar-powered water desalination system connected in Kenya – Kenya Powered entirely by solar energy and battery storage, GivePowerâs desalination systems are housed in 20-foot shipping containers and capable of transforming 70,000 litres of brackish and/or seawater into clean drinking water every day. Unlike most ground well systems, these solar water âfarmsâ produce a higher quality of water over a longer period of time with virtually no negative environmental impact, states the organisation. The water desalination system is powered by a small solar photovoltaic power plant installed on the container. The micro off-grid plant has a battery-based electricity storage [âŠ] Smart solar-powered water desalination system connected in Kenya – KenyaHIWI042020-08-17T12:35:03+02:00

Kenya Installs the First Solar Plant That Transforms Ocean Water Into Drinking Water – Kenya Water should not be luxury product, but still in these modern times, one out of nine people doesnât have access to clean drinking water. This main issue here is that only around 4% of earthâs water sources are rivers, lakes and drinkable water, the rest is comprised of oceans with salty water. These are all alarming statistics, but luckily in many such places around the world things are starting to improve thanks to new technologies. (LINK).
