The study focuses on developing a cost-effective solar energy-based facility that provides both drinking water and cold storage for coastal communities in India. This facility aims to address two critical needs: access to clean drinking water and reliable cold storage for perishable goods. By harnessing solar energy, the project seeks to offer a sustainable and affordable solution for these communities, reducing reliance on costly and environmentally harmful alternatives. The research involves designing and implementing solar-powered systems for water purification and refrigeration, with the goal of improving resource availability and quality of life in coastal areas.
