Abstract: reverse osmosis system was designed and powered by photovoltaic panels for the production of potable water. Elements of system design and integration were identified and optimized. These include capacity planning, standalone capabilities by providing battery storage system and economic analysis. The experimentation on the system, performed in the premises of Mechanical Department of UET Lahore-KSK Campus has proven that unit operated with successful throughput of 5.9 1/h for 5 hours with battery based and 3.8 I/h for 7 hours using battery less system. The battery-powered and direct solar operation modes were tested and in either case the system proved its worthiness. The cost comparison has been presented as well which clearly identifies that it as a cost effective energy efficient portable desalination system.
