MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631044677 A) filed by Dr. Sudhir Chandra Sur Institute Of Technology And Sports Complex, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 8, for 'a solar energy-driven system and method for fresh water production using integrated photovoltaic and thermal desalination technologies.'
Inventor(s) include Souradeep Roy; Krishnendu Kundu; Kalyan Mukharjee; Baibaswata Das; Dr. Saradindu Panda; and Sourav Kumar Singha.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A solar energy-driven system and method for the production of fresh water are disclosed, integrating renewable energy harvesting with modular desalination technologies. The system comprises solar photovoltaic and/or thermal units, an energy management and storage module, an adaptive pre-treatment filtration assembly, and a core desalination module such as reverse osmosis or membrane distillation. By utilizing an intelligent energy control system and battery storage, the invention ensures continuous operation and achieves high system availability. The system is capable of producing 5-50 L/day/m of potable water that meets WHO standards while maintaining a near-zero carbon footprint during operation. The modular and scalable architecture makes it particularly suitable for remote, off-grid, and water-scarce regions."
