I can guess why it is not still active. It is extremely energy intensive to condense water out of the air.

  Why would you care how energy intensive it is when it’s solar powered?

    Go buy a 40 pint per day dehumidifier and then start sizing the solar power you will need to run it all day, and then make sure there is enough humidity in the air to actually get 40pints/day and make sure there is enough battery to make up for the days that aren’t sunny, and realize the people who need water generally don’t have that much water in the air, and then realize this is a pipe dream.

      It's not solar-electric, it's solar-thermal. Does need some power to circulate the desiccant.

        I can guess why this project is not still active. My setup is probably more efficient than X’s setup.
