“…Previous studies [3,4,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14] showed a sharp decline in water production after 2 pm due to decline in solar radiation. The conventional solar still (CSS) and active and passive solar stills cannot produce steady amount of water once there is a reduction in solar radiation.…”

2015): Sustainable potable water production using a solar still with photovoltaic modules-AC heater, Desalination and Water Treatment, A B S T R A C T Solar energy as a sustainable energy source can be harnessed to produce potable water using solar stills. In this work, effort was made to evaluate the performance of a double slope solar still integrated with a 500 W heater to produce potable water. The heater was powered by six photovoltaic modules, which can produce 1.5 KWp and then connected to four batteries with capacity of 150 Ah each. The experiments were conducted over several days in the tropical climate of Malaysia. A black painted steel trough with length 90 cm, width 45 cm, and depth 8 cm was used as the basin of the glass covered double slope solar still. A comparison of the cumulative water production between the conventional solar still (CSS) and solar still with PV-Heater (CSSPVH) was done. The CSSPVH was found to be more effective; producing about six times the amount of water produced by the CSS. Mathematical models derived based on energy balance studies of CSSPVH, were used to carry out simulations to verify the experimental findings. The energy balance equations of condensing cover and the basin water of CSSPVH were developed as well. A good agreement was found between numerical and experimental productivities of CSSPVH. An expected increase in water production of up to 16 kg/m 2 per 24 h was obtained using CSSPVH. Therefore, CSSPVH is an effective design to produce sustainable potable water, even in areas with very low daily solar radiation intensity, due to its ability to store solar energy. In addition, some tested water quality parameters indicate that water produced from solar stills meet the WHO standard for potable water.

“…The productivity of fresh water by solar distillation depends drastically on the intensity of solar radiation and the sunshine time interval during the day [1]. Some researchers indicated that some parameters such as water mass [4], black dye [5], wind speed, insulation thickness [6] and installing booster mirrors [7] have an effect on the output of the solar stills.…”

“…The effect of different parameters, for example, dye (Sodha et al, 1980;Tiwari et al, 1989), water mass (Tiwari and Madhuri, 1987), wind (Soliman, 1972;Clark et al, 1985), and insulation (Clark et al, 1985) have been well studied. Yadav and Tiwari (1989) used a new material fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) for a multiwick solar still to enhance the yield.…”
