Abstract: An apparatus and method for simultaneous water disinfection and electricity generation includes a disinfection section and an electricity generating section. In some cases, the disinfection section includes a storage tank and a plurality of transparent vacuum tubes. In addition, the electricity generating section includes a base plate and a plurality of photovoltaic cells. Water disinfection is performed by exposing the disinfection section to sunlight radiation. Electricity generation is carried out by exposing the electricity generating section to the sunlight passing through the plurality of transparent vacuum tubes of the disinfection section.
