Desolenator : The World's First Circular Solar Thermal Desalination System

Scarcity in Abundance – it's a paradox that defines the global water crisis. Despite covering 70% of our planet's surface, only 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh, and a mere 0.007% is accessible for the 7.8 billion people and countless ecosystems relying on it. The United Nations projects that by 2025, two-thirds of the world could be facing water shortages, putting lives and livelihoods at risk.

Enter Desolenator – who have embarked on a mission not just to filter water, but to transform how we source it. With 785 million people lacking a basic drinking-water service and the demand for water expected to exceed supply by 40% by 2030, Desolenator's technology couldn't be timelier.

Harnessing the power of the sun, Desolenator presents an all-in-one system that purifies water from any source, including seawater, by combining solar photovoltaic (PV) with solar thermal. This sustainable alchemy produces clean drinking water without the heavy energy footprint or the brine waste of traditional desalination.

The genius of Desolenator's system lies in its simplicity and scalability - A solar panel collects energy, heating the water to allow distillation, removing contaminants, and providing pure water – a lifeline for communities hit hardest by water scarcity.

Desolenator's ingenuity was recognized by the Solar Impulse Foundation, earning a coveted spot in their #1000Solutions challenge, where solutions meet high standards in profitability and sustainability.

This is where the story of scarcity ends and a new chapter of abundance begins – powered by the sun, delivered by Desolenator.
