Sea water desalination for coastal area using concentrated sunlight and solar panel

Abstract

All over the world, it is quite difficult to do the desalination of sea water. Alongside it is very tough to do cultivation and manage daily needs in a coastal area due to lack of distilled water. And the traditional desalination processes are very costly and time consuming at the same time. So, in this project a solar-desalination process is proposed that desalinate sea water with a very low cost and effort. Besides that human civilization is now pushed forward to a new era where every bulk automated structure is getting compact through the use of microcontroller. This incited us to design a microcontroller based solar-desalination system, which is powered by solar energy. The proposed model of sea water desalination for coastal area uses concentrated sunlight through Fresnel Lens as the main factor together with a solar panel. And the whole process of sea water collection to desalination of the water is controlled via an Arduino Uno.
