Some figures and science in the video above which is useful to calculate what sizing you might need and so on. The sizing is meant for New Mexico which is more like Queensland in terms of solar radiation, in Melbourne for instance you'd need a larger area. Combining a smaller set up like this might be very useful, particularly if you've already got water nearby. Nothing to wear out either so, depending on material it would last a very long time.

Hmm, that's an interesting option, 20-40 liters a day of water. It's using 400W of electricity to do that which is a 'very' expensive use of power if you're on solar at first look. Basically it's using a dehumidifier and collecting that water, if it were outside it would never have an issue making water due to vapor in the air. I'm skeptical about the need for filters as you're getting the water via vapor which has nothing but water molecules in it but you would have to make sure that the air filter is cleaned as it would accumulate dust over time.
