Hello sotobrizeida,

Solar energy can be used to disinfect water. An overview of the topic is at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection
Also, solar panels might be used to power water distillation or other equipment used in water purification.

Water purification is a very broad topic so you should narrow the possibilities for your project. There is a very good guide for getting started here:

Good luck with your project and please ask if you have more questions.
