Powering Your AWG with Solar Energy
Powering Your AWG with Solar Energy: Complete Guide
Many customers ask us:
“Can I power my Atmospheric Water Generator using solar energy?”
The answer is: Yes!
Whether you’re off-grid, eco-conscious, or preparing for emergencies, pairing your Solaris WaterGen AWG with solar panels and a portable power station is a smart and sustainable solution.
How It Works
Your AWG requires a steady source of electricity to extract moisture from the air and purify it into drinking water. To power it with solar energy, you’ll need:
Solar Panels – to convert sunlight into electricity
Portable Power Station (Power Bank) – to store energy and provide stable power to the AWG, even at night
Charge Controller (built into most power stations) – regulates voltage and prevents overcharging
Power Requirements for AWG
Average Power Consumption: 500W
Daily Energy Need: 12,000Wh (12 kWh for 24-hour operation)

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Many portable power stations are plug-and-play. For larger rooftop solar panel systems, we recommend working with a licensed solar installer.
Larger battery storage ensures continuous operation even on cloudy days. You can also supplement with a generator or grid power when needed.
Absolutely. Both EcoFlow and Bluetti systems support multiple devices simultaneously.
