Abstract Fresh water scarcity is a major challenge in many regions, particularly in arid and remote areas where access to conventional water sources is limited. Atmospheric water generation offers a practical solution by extracting moisture directly from the air. This project presents the design and development of a solar-powered water condensation system using thermoelectric coolers (TECs). The system operates on the Peltier effect, where a temperature difference is created across the thermoelectric module when electric current is supplied. The cold surface of the TEC cools the surrounding air below its dew point, causing moisture present in the air to condense into water droplets. The condensed water is collected and stored for further use. Solar photovoltaic panels provide the electrical energy required to operate the thermoelectric modules, making the system suitable for locations with limited or no access to grid electricity. Heat generated on the hot side of the TEC is dissipated through a heat sink and fan arrangement to maintain efficient operation. The proposed system is compact, environmentally friendly, and economical, utilizing renewable solar energy for water production. The study demonstrates the feasibility of producing potable water from atmospheric humidity while reducing dependence on conventional water resources.
