  ABSTRACT: Solar powered cold water dispenser apparatus is fabricated and experimental results are shown in this work. The system contains solar panels, two low energy fans, water tank fabricated from clay (pottery), thermally sealed box, and pipes. Once these contents are connected together, testing was conducted on water temperatures at both ends. The preliminary results showed a drop in temperature of around 15℃. This is achieved by utilizing free power from the sun.
