Solution Overview & Benefits

A Solar-power device can turn polluted water into clean drinking water and generate electricity. The unprivileged settlement can withdraw up to 1.8 to 3 kilowatt that support 220 volt energy output (AC 220v, DC 12v) and can purify 1.5 liter of high contaminated and 3-5 liter of low contaminated water per/min. Extra batteries chargeable facilities can help to preserve energy and use for all the household purpose. The package contains 1 set of R/O filter and two pieces of cleaning filters, but can change the filter type, it depends on the water condition. The WIFI system in device places in one community help to get a wireless signal with each other. The range of signal depends on the position and type of antenna placements. When in sunlight, the cell produces electricity and release heat like typical solar panel. It directs to the device, which changes the heat as an energy sources to power the desalination process. The result is the clean drinking water that safes millions of lives. The solar panel absorb light, and the battery preserve energy, the water pump supplies the raw water to filter which purify safe water to drink. The specification of parts can be change accordingly. Solar power can be used for generating own electricity, a battery bank can be charged and use it for household purpose such as, a generator, and a full range of appliances including recharging emergency lights, computers or phones, refrigerator, stove, satellite TV, lightning bulbs etc.

History & Development

For 20 years MIJ COO Mr. Lee who studied engineering and traveled around Asia, Africa, and South America. He noticed fickle weather and long-distance travelling made him realized a risk of drinking water in a short duration visit, but while meeting people around he carried his own innovated ceramic potable filter. The ceramic filter was very beneficial for household purpose, but the thought of benefiting school children of unprivileged areas. In 2018 Mr. Lee visited Nepal and decided to build a water storage tank for school students, but the energy storage and clean water scarcity are two key challenges for region like Nepal where the electricity load shedding schedule 4 to 6 hrs a day. He decided to connect solar panel to generate electricity and use ceramic filters to purify water and added extra batteries to provide electricity for children in Schools. Afterward he discovered current SOLPA which is 15 kg in weight and easy to carry. A single solar panel is enough to provide electricity to children and clean water can save thousands of lives. Considering the need of advance society other function are inserted such as AC Output, USB, FM Radio, and Bluetooth. The device is easy to assemble and if it is placed in different location can help networking between the booths. Later, he visited personally and installed solar energy panels in other countries such as Vietnam, Vietnam, Sri Lanka Cambodia, Indonesia, and Philippine.
