Solar power is abundantly available in India. So why not use that for water purification, especially in areas where electricity is not available, or in remote areas?
When I attended the RENERGY 2014 in Chennai, I came across the solar water purification system (using Reverse Osmosis and Ultra Filteration technologies) manufactured by Jackson Power. These systems can cater to the drinking water requirements of 3-4 families on a daily basis, according to their website. They use solar panels to filter the water, hence external electrical connection may not be required.
I think this is a good application of solar energy, especially for a country like India which needs water purification systems in rural areas where electricity is not available or is not regular. Only, if these systems become affordable (due to mass adoption), we can have many such solar water purification systems deployed across the country.
Have a look at the details of their solar water purification systems from here. The brochure is here.
