This study, Development of Water 'Treatment by Blectrocoagulation using Solar Power, purpose is to help ear wash shops and households recast waste water using solar as a renewable energy source. This study also aims primarily to aid nature with its ever-growing issue of water shortage. There is a variety of electrocoagulation method, but this study depends on locally accessible resources. The said project consists of wood and glass panel to form the frame; it has aluminum sheet electrodes, hydronium paper for pH testing, different kinds of rocks and sand for filtration, and solar panel as power source. The testing process completed last March 2020, the result show table 3 and 4. The project started January 2020 and the completion of the document on April 2020. Due to the pandemic, the researchers performed a test procedure of what the resources could provide. Lack of financial support to provide the electrodes, water pump, filtration stones, and pH meter became the issue and some of the researchers became stuck in their respective provinces. Each section of Project Research does not provide the researcher a lest outcome and other evidence to show that the work that the researchers have done is successful. Other water treatment details utilizing electrocoagulation is given below to effectively evaluate the possible outcome of the system when the researchers perform a test procedure, to show the achievement in the experiment and to see what other resources the researchers are unable to use because of this pandemic. Therefore, based on their research, the researchers provided an appropriate reading or evaluation regarding water cleanliness.
