MIT’s solar-powered desalination system needs no extra batteries

The system runs with the rhythms of the sun.

MIT engineers have developed a groundbreaking solar-powered desalination system that operates in sync with the sun’s energy fluctuations. This innovative system effectively removes salt from water by adjusting its desalination process to match the changes in solar energy. By leveraging sunlight, the system can adapt to sudden shifts in light intensity, ensuring optimal use of solar energy and enabling the production of significant amounts of clean water, even in varying light conditions throughout the day.
