Abstract
A hybrid solar water disinfection and energy generation system was subjected to a microbial kinetic study to apply system optimizations. E. coli response and photovoltaic performance was studied using natural water sources and natural sunlight. Results showed that under strong climatic conditions the time required for the solar disinfection could be reduced by half, increasing the quantity of treated water and improving the SOLWAT energy output due to the cooling effect of the water being purified on the top of the PV module. The module could even be benefited from lower temperatures when using reduced treatments times.
