Solar-Powered Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG)

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

The Challenge: Farmers in humid, off-grid regions face high water costs due to saline groundwater or expensive trucking services. The Solution: A portable, fully solar-powered Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) designed to harvest fresh water from humidity. The system utilizes a novel variable-speed compressor and AI-driven control to optimize water production against limited solar energy. The system now achieves 20 L/day of water production with improved efficiency. Future work includes enhancing AI control, reducing weight, and increasing output.
