Nothing is more fundamental than access to safe drinking water, and SOURCE is on a mission to make it an unlimited resource. Our technology taps the sky to create drinking water using sunlight and air, putting the power of safe, sustainable, and high-quality water production into the hands of every person in nearly every climate and corner of the world.
Creates a sustainable source of clean, safe, premium drinking water locally and where it’s needed most, creating resilience, well-being, and economic security
Preserves dwindling groundwater resources
Serves places where infrastructure is aging or simply doesn’t exist and where, due to contamination in groundwater or chemicals in our public water systems, the water is unsafe to drink.
Produces premium drinking water at a fraction of the cost of building new pipes, pumps and treatment plants.
Reduces plastic waste. Over its lifetime, a single Hydropanel can offset up to 54,750 single-use plastic bottles.
Just as solar and wind have given us clean, renewable energy alternatives to fossil fuels, technology has created a renewable solution for the world’s water crisis.
SOURCE Hydropanels use only the energy of the sun to draw clean, safe drinking water not from the ground, but from a new and endlessly abundant source: the water vapor in the air.
This self-contained system needs no piped infrastructure or electricity, is resistant to storms and flooding, and is infinitely scalable, from a two-panel installation on a home to water farms that serve entire communities, businesses, and bottling operations.
1
Solar energy powers the panel completely off-grid
2
Fans draw in ambient air and push it through a hygroscopic, or water-absorbing material, that traps water vapor from the air
3
The water vapor is extracted and passively condenses into liquid that is collected in the reservoir
4
Minerals are added to make perfect drinking water
5
Sensors in each Hydropanel array allow SOURCE to monitor water quality and resolve issues remotely†
6
SOURCE water can by plumbed into a refrigerator or kitchen dispenser for easy enjoyment
2 million people have no running water
23% of well water -- which serves 15% of the population -- is unsafe to drink
BIPOC communities are 40% more likely to face drinking water stress
Unsafe drinking water plagues communities, including arsenic, uranium and PFAS
300,000 water mains break every year.
Groundwater is being pumped fast than it can be replaced. Some towns have run out of water.
Located on Arizona State University’s Polytechnique campus, this location sustainably produces premium drinking that’s packaged in recyclable and reusable bottles.
