My small desalination rig uses about 1200 watts and makes 30 gallons per hour. It cost me $3500. So it’s doable with 3 panels for this 2 person household. I’d imagine a plant would benefit from economies of scale. Though these benefits could get eaten up by cost overruns. Frankly, it seems the hurdle in California is working through the people issues/concerns than technical problems. It’ll be interesting to see the stats on this new desal technique when they have a product for sale.
