Potable water shortages are one of today's world's most critical problems. While water covers more than two-thirds (about 71%) of the earth's surface, works suitable for everyday usage are still scarce (only about 2.75 percent). Countries with long coastlines and island states that do not have adequate freshwater facilities, such as rivers and wetlands, face the acute water scarcity crisis. This paper conducts an experimental and theoretical analysis for an atmospheric water generation system. The unit is based on the thermoelectric cooling theory, with solar energy as the system's power source. The experimental work is conducted at Basra Region, located in southern of Iraq, between August and September 2019 and March 2020. Different climatic conditions test the experimental system on different days. Maximum water production is 3.4 L/day from all test days for various hours of service when relative humidity varies from (45-95 percent), and temperature ranges from 17C to 45C. Results indicate that water production rate increases with increasing humidity, temperatures, and hours of service and model area
