Unisolar to install 100 solar desalination plants in the next 5 years

Tinox, a German company specialized in solar thermal desalination systems, has sealed a deal with the Unisolar Group for the promotion and development of at least 100 plants from now until 2013.
In total, 300 m eur will be needed for the projects, according to a press release from Unisolar. Each one of the plants would be able to process around one million liters of water per day, or enough to cover the needs of 5,000 households.
 
Unisolar will provide the know-how and distribution of solar thermal collectors in Spain and Portugal, while Tinox will contribute with its patented desalination technology.
 
This technology has already been successfully tested. For example, two years ago Tinox started using it  in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) thanks to a 140 square meter solar collection area that was able to produce 5,000 liters of water for a local company.
