How solar-powered desalination works – Sustainable clean water for islands & coastlines
How do you use the sun to turn seawater into clean water? Desalination using solar energy will play a crucial role to solve water scarcity.
Already 4 billion people face water scarcity. Islands and coastal areas are vulnerable to droughts. The key to unlock extra fresh water lies in the sea. However, desalination is an expensive exercise, as much energy is needed and energy rates are high.
Technology company Elemental Water Makers has found a way to use the elements in their favour. Combining the power of the sea and sun, reliable access to clean water from unlimited resources is enabled. Using unique energy recovery technology, the amount of energy required is strongly reduced. Solar-powered desalination provides independence and resilience.
Coastal communities, lower lying atolls, private islands, private properties, resorts and municipalities can now get access to affordable clean water for generations to come.

A donation of $20 can help provide one person clean drinking water for an entire decade. Because such a small amount of money can create such a big impact, anyone can make a real difference.*
GivePower is a global foundation that provides solar energy technology to deliver clean water, food and light to those who need it most.
GivePower has brought clean, renewable energy to over 2,500 schools in 17 countries and impacted the lives of more than 300,000 people.
Now, as the water crisis continues to grow exponentially across the world, GivePower’s latest innovation is a breakthrough blueprint solution. With advanced filtration systems and new desalination technology, GivePower has begun deploying solar microgrid water farms in regions of Africa with the most urgent need. One of our solar powered desalination systems produces enough clean healthy for about 35,000 people every single day.
Compared to most traditional water wells, one GivePower solar water farm produces a higher quality of water over a longer period of time — powered by renewable energy, and delivered in an economically sustainable, and affordable, manner.
