1.2 Solution and Effect

As clean and purified water is need of humans we can use


“Solar Water Purifier” for purification of water. The mobile
solar water works on solar energy which is free in nature
with no cost. Also solar energy is a clean source of getting
energy. In rainy days when solar energy is insufficient or not
available we are using electricity from electric company. Fig 1.block diagram

2.1 Hardware Implementation we designed comparator unit. The arrangement of


comparator unit is as shown below
In this project, we are generating the electricity from the
solar energy. Based on this generated electricity whole
purification process will be run. But in the absence of
electricity, we are providing electricity from mains supply.
Here we are using comparator to compare solar energy
supply, wind energy supply and mains supply. Comparator
passes the high voltage supply for the purification process
but here we are giving the first reference to the solar energy
then wind energy supply or mains supply. The purification
process consist of diaphragm pump, RO membrane,
activated carbon filter.

(Fig 3. Comparator unit)

In comparator unit the first preference is to Solar energy


then mains supply. Also this project run on the supply from
wind energy for that we have connection on our comparator
unit. Our goal is to purify water with the help of renewable
energy sources which will reduce the billing of energy
consumed for water purification. The payback period of this
project is around 1-1.5 years.
The stepwise procedure and flow chart of project is
determined in flow chart given below.

(Fig2. Hardware Model)


The input water feeds to the pre-filter which removes
the debris, sand particles and solid particles present in the
water. Then this water is passed through RO membrane with
high pressure by using diaphragm pump. Diaphragm pump
passes the water with high pressure. We have designed the
comparator unit based on PIC16F877A 40 pin
microcontroller. In low sunshine days, the whole assembly
will run on mains supply. The comparator unit compares the
solar energy supply and mains supply. And then provides the
high voltage supply to the battery. Then battery gives supply
to diaphragm pump which feds water to RO membrane.

2.2 Software Implementation

In rainy season solar energy is not sufficient to charge


the battery. Hence we made a programmable output with the
help of micro controller. In which solar supply and mains
supply is given to relay and by comparing both the supply
which one is sufficient to charge the battery is given to
battery by using micro controller action. For above process (Fig.4 Flow chart)
