It doesn’t say how humid the air needs to be. Will it still work if humidity is low?
There's always some humidity, so I guess in the end it depends entirely on how efficient they can make this technology. It's probably a bit too early to say.
That said, if you live in a tent in the Sahara you probably shouldn't postpone investing in solar panels over this.
