1. A solar powered toilet comprising:
a treatment facility;
a toilet facility designed to flush human waste with or without water into the treatment facility;
a vacuum pump coupled to the treatment facility to generate negative pressure within the treatment facility to thereby extract waste from the toilet facility and into the treatment facility;
photovoltaic cells for generating electricity to power at least the treatment facility and the vacuum pump;
a dehumidifier, powered by the photovoltaic cells, to extract atmospheric water from humid air;
at least one of a heating element powered by the photovoltaic cells and a coil of a condensing unit to evaporate water in the treatment facility; and
a concave dome for the treatment facility housing the heating element and an ultraviolet lamp, to provide radiation, to evaporate and sanitize liquid and sanitize solids within the treatment facility.
