You could buy a few solar panels, an inverter, a dehumidifier, and a water filter and be fine. The problem is sizing the power generation and dehumidifier to match and generate an amount of water meaningful to you.

Regardless you need quite a bit of solar to get a decent amount of water.



Given that a dehumidifier is prime bacteria habitat, I'd recommend probably also putting it through UV sterilisation (or ozone or chlorine) before a decent filter cartridge before drinking. But yeah, the energy required is so high that it's usually one of the least useful ways of getting water in most places.
