This research paper addresses the design of a solar-powered freshwater production system, aiming to provide sustainable solutions for desalination, especially in water-scarce regions that benefit from high solar radiation. The research addresses how solar energy can be converted into electricity to power desalination technologies, such as reverse osmosis. The design process includes assessing the installation location, solar radiation intensity, and water demand before determining energy needs and selecting appropriate desalination methods. The system is environmentally friendly, has low operating costs, and is capable of operating independently from conventional electrical grids, making it ideal for remote areas, especially during major events such as the Arbaeen pilgrimage, where a reliable supply of clean water is required. The results indicate the system’s ability to provide clean water at low operating costs and with high efficiency under variable solar radiation levels, reducing reliance on conventional energy sources. The system can also operate for extended periods at night thanks to the high battery storage capacity. The results also showed that the quality of the water produced by the system is high, with a saline concentration of 0.1%, demonstrating excellent purity and suitability for consumption. The system can be expanded by incorporating solar panels and larger-capacity batteries to meet increased demand, making it a sustainable, long-term solution. In this way, the study demonstrates the system’s importance in addressing challenges associated with drinking water in water-scarce areas, especially during major events such as the Arbaeen pilgrimage.
