For good

Make your own water from air + sunlight

Your personal SOURCE® Hydropanels™ allow you to make your own perfectly balanced drinking water at home every day using the water vapor in the air and the power of the sun.

How it works

SOURCE® Hydropanels™ make "impossible" a reality. They use energy from the sun to convert water vapor in the air into clean, safe, quality water for you and your family—without electricity from the grid or additional infrastructure.

Order now

Solar energy powers your hydropanel completely off-grid

Fans draw in ambient air and push it through a hygroscopic—water-absorbing—material that traps water vapor from the air

The water vapor is extracted and condenses into liquid water that is sent to a pressurized tank in your home

Drinkable water is dispensed straight from your designated tap or refrigerator

*First panel including tank, home connection kit & warranty. One (1) Hydropanel produces up to 6 bottles of water per day (16.9 oz bottles). Solar and environmental conditions will cause variations in production. For more information see our FAQ page. †16.9 oz bottles. ❂10% of our net proceeds are used to improve water access worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on how many people are living in the household and their drinking water consumption. Each R3 Hydropanel will produce approximately 180 standard bottles of water per month. We recommend at least one panel for every two people living in the home.

Our residential Hydropanels can be installed by a handyman or experienced DIYer for ground mounted installations. For residential roof mounted installations, we recommend using a professional such as a general contractor or solar water heater installer.

For commercial projects, SOURCE or one of our certified partners will complete installation.

SOURCE Hydropanels are recommended for locations without a prolonged freeze.  When temperatures reach freezing, SOURCE Hydropanels enter hibernation mode and do not produce water.

The residential R3 Hydropanels are 6′ long by 4′ wide X 44″ tall when mounted at 45 degrees.

Our commercial Hydropanels are 2.4m long x 1.2m wide x 1.13m tall when mounted at 45 degrees.

SOURCE has a two step water production process that keeps any pollution in the air from getting into your water. First, the built-in air filter keeps particulates and other debris from finding their way into the Hydropanel. Second, because our patented material only attracts water molecules, the water produced is pure – similar to distilled – leaving anything else in the air behind.

SOURCE Hydropanels are low maintenance. Like any standard appliance, Hydropanels require periodic filter and cartridge changes based on use.

The lifespan of SOURCE Hydropanels depend on how they are maintained and the weather conditions in which they are located.

Exterior Installation Overview

There are two ways to install the Hydropanel R3, either on the ground or on a flat roof. Choosing which installation method is best for your home will depend on the location of your yard and roof type. We recommend working with a licensed contractor for roof installations.

Please contact us for additional installation questions.

Hydropanel General Installation Requirements:

  • Sunny mounting location – The SOURCE Hydropanel works best in full sun. Unobstructed sunlight required at least 5 hours per day. Avoid placing under shading objects such as trees, buildings, etc.
  • 4 x 6 foot (1.2 x 1.8 meters) mounting area per Hydropanel.
  • Minimum clearance of 1ft (30cm) in front of and behind the panels to allow access for service.
  • Minimum 3 inches (8 cm) between hydropanels from side to side within an array.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be installed at least 15 feet (5 meters) away from windows and should be positioned considering hydropanel sound with respect to living spaces.
  • SOURCE Hydropanels must be level from side-to-side with a maximum deviation of 20mm.
  • Hydropanel must be South Facing (180°) for locations in the Northern Hemisphere, or North facing (0°) for locations in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • The installation surface must be level. For example, a flat roof, or level ground.
  • Roof mounted hydropanels must be at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the edge of any structure.
  •  
  • Adequate structural integrity of the roof is required. Do not install on a roof that is damaged or otherwise insufficient to hold the weight and wind loads of the hydropanel.
  •  
  • Consider whether there is space for a crane to set up and lift the hydropanels to their mounting location.
  • Ground locations should be firm, level, and evenly composed. The hydropanel can be placed on blocks, concrete, or mounted to lumber to provide a stable base to sit on.
  •  
  • Consider factors like soil composition, and how to manage erosion or plant growth over time.
  •  
  • Avoid installing the hydropanel where they may be wetted from irrigation sprinklers.
  •  
  • Ensure the hydropanel is raised above the specified flood plain.
  •  
  • Hydropanel should be anchored to the ground or sufficiently ballasted to prevent movement or damage from high winds.

Hydropanel Calculator

The amount of water you consume will determine how many panels you’ll need and the size of tanks we recommend. Use our calculator below for our panel and tank recommendation.

Each panel produces on average 180 bottles per month (16.9 oz bottles). For a more accurate estimation based on your location use this tool.
