Solar Cube
As the latest innovation in green technology and water desalination, comes the Solar Cube (aka Spectra Solar Brackish Water System). Producing 950 to 1500 gallons of water daily, it can be used in disaster areas, such as hurricane affected sites. Not only this, the solar cells attached to the Cube can produce up to 1240W. It also has a wind generator that helps with energy production up to another 1000W.
Utilizing Spectra’s highly efficient Clark Pump technology it minimizes energy consumption & provides extra electricity to power other devices. Having advantages like rapid installation it provides Off-the-Grid water purification and has point-of-entry water filtration capabilities. Adding to this once deployed and in operation, no fuel or fuel delivery costs are incurred. Like all the inventions of our days, the Cube has been already tested by the army and the civilian services of Chile. Likewise, it has been imported in remote areas of South America and Asia. Early prototype models were used in Pakistan after the major 1995 earthquake.



The users say it performs well - it has a recovery rate of about 30% and it produces quality water, with less than 170mg/L of seawater in it. Hence this popular “off the grid” solution can be used for military applications & civil defense and creates drinking water and electricity anywhere at any time.
