Sir: Water from Air systems have been around in one form or another for at least 25 years. They work really well in areas where you do not have  a need for them. Why ? Because high humidity normally goes with rain. If an area is suffering drought and the humidity is low or very low, then these units are pretty well useless....they cost so much to run and produce not really enough water for the amount of energy expended. Solar panels, as they are currently produced, do not really make the amounts of energy needed for an extremely large system that would be needed to make adequate water for just a few people. Dr. E.
