Photoflow Harvests the Sun and Water
Aug-13-13
Taking advantage of both the sun and rain, the Photoflow is a combination rainwater and solar energy harvester.Most developing countries are located near the equator, where both rain and sunshine are plentiful. The Photoflow, designed by NOS with such countries in mind, features eight triangular solar panels angled to capture rainwater and channel it to a filter and into a water tank. An anti-reflective surface on the solar cells helps to reduce light loss due to reflection while a nano repellent film helps prevent dirt from collecting on the surface of the cells. The water tank itself is lined with a coating to help control bacteria and fungi growth, and each module is fitted with a lid at each end for easy cleaning and maintenance.
