In India, water borne diseases are increasing day by day. Nearly, 60% of India’s population has to drink unsafe or impure drinking water. Drinking impure water gives rise to many water borne diseases such as diarrhea, typhoid, etc. Energy crisis is another big issue in our country as India is a developing country. Conventional energy sources are limited and they cause environmental pollution. By using a renewable energy source such as solar power for water purification, we can avoid above mentioned issues as it gives solution to both the problems. Solar water purifiers comes up with a solution to these problem as water gets purified with the help of solar energy. Solar water purifiers are an advancement of the current water purification system. Design methodology of the solar water purifier is presented in this paper. Solar water purifier takes solar power as the input and uses it as a energy source and stores it into the battery. Main components of the proposed solar water purifier are solar panel, battery, heating coil, filtering mechanism, double layer condenser and several water vessels. This purifier uses a filtering mechanism to remove dirt from the impure water and a boiling mechanism to kill organisms present in it. Through this process, pure drinking water is achieved.
