SOURCE Global and Conservation International partnered to transform the Columbian community of Bahia Hondita with the installation of a SOURCE Field comprised of 149 of SOURCE Global’s hydropanels. The new system will transform life in the community with an infusion of renewably sourced water pulled from the atmosphere using abundant sunshine.
In this episode of our Cleantech Talk podcast interview series, Kyle Field sits down with the founder of SOURCE Global, Cody Friesen, to talk about the significant improvements the company has made with its new Rexi Hydropanels.
A new hydropanel project will help an area of Appalachia whose water has been affected by years of mining and poor infrastructure.
SOURCE Global’s hydropanels harness the power of the sun and use it to produce from thin air. It’s known as atmospheric water generation, and the fact that these panels are able to produce pure drinking water without the need for any external electricity makes them perfect for off-grid and disaster response scenarios around the world.
SOURCE Global and its SOURCE hydropanels that literally create perfectly balanced drinking water from the air have been on our radar for a long time, so we were excited for the opportunity to connect with its CEO, Cody Friesen, at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada to talk about their panels.
Aid and recovery efforts continue for Puerto Rico. Disheartening news is that more than 50% of Puerto Rico is without clean water in mid-October. Puerto Rico is storm battered from Hurricane Maria, a more extensive human crisis than even Hurricane Katrina created. Stepping in to hasten recovery is a Bay Area–based nonprofit in collaboration with other helping arms.
Empowered by Light, Sunrun, and Givepower are responding to the need by focusing on compassionate, long-term response and environmentally friendly solutions.
