One of the widespread problems facing by the world is unavailability of pure water. Water is a requisite resource, and its supply need to be guaranteed with an inexhaustible power source such as renewable energy. Almost 1.6 billion people have no access to potable water in the world. This paper focused on providing potable water by using solar panels (PV modules). A suitable charge controller of desired voltage (24v here) is used to regulate the voltage coming from panels. Since the solar power is intermittent, a charge controller is needed for continuous supply of desired voltage to run the motor. A DC motor is used to run the RO system without the use of inverter. Later the pure water is circulated through heat sinks at which a heat flux is generated by using a peltier to get hot and cold water simultaneously.
