Abstract
For the sake of the future of civilization, the water-energy continuum is a crucial and challenging problem that needs to be tackled. Additionally, the creation of freshwater uses a lot of energy. As a result, finding a practical solution to this problem is essential. Solar energy is currently one of the finest options for desalination because it is affordable, ecologically good, and widely available. It takes a lot of human effort and time to generate soft and suitable drinking water using the various sun desalination devices that have been built. In this work, prebuilt solar desalination systems are automated using IoT techniques and sensors. The use of IoT will help to reduce the amount of labour needed to operate the system. Using an Arduino and various sensors like pH, turbidity, and total dissolved solids, the water quality is assessed by eliminating the laboratory process of monitoring water quality parameters. The results obtained using this method are at par with those obtained using laboratory methods (Kedar et al. in Int J Photoenergy 6:1–3, 2021).
