The team at Tenkiv Nexus says that the average person needs five liters of water a day to survive, and ten liters a day for basic hygiene and cooking.
Approximately one billion people on earth don't have access to that clean water.
Working with the Afghan Development Association, the Tenkiv team is trying to change water purification methods, and running a Kickstarter campaign to receive initial funding.
Tenkiv Nexus uses a system that they hope will cost 1/13 of existing solar panels and 1/5 that of fossil fuel, without subsidies.
A sanitation module uses a pasteurization process that heats the water to 100 degrees Celsius for a few minutes, killing 99.9% of the water's biological contaminants.
Ideally this reinvention of what a solar panel can be will be even a fourth of the current estimates, and push forward the cause of clean water for everyone.
