“…The analysis results that the payback period of SSPCM solar still was the least which is around 7years with the cost of water is 0.2 ¥/L and the SSPCM solar still acquires the least TAC nearly 0.123 ¥/L at the first year. Vigneswaran et al (2021) described that the phase change material is used to serve the heat for the water in the basin of stills, during at the night time. Thus, higher temperature difference is achieved between the water surface and inner glazing surface with the help of the paraffin PCM.…”

The energy storage application plays a vital role in the utilization of the solar energy technologies. There are various types of the energy storage applications are available in the todays world. Phase change materials (PCMs) are suitable for various solar energy systems for prolonged heat energy retaining, as solar radiation is sporadic. This literature review presents the application of the PCM in solar thermal power plants, solar desalination, solar cooker, solar air heater, and solar water heater. Even though the availability and cost of PCMs are complex and high, the PCMs are used in most solar energy methods due to their significant technical parameters improvisation. This review's detailed findings paved the way for future recommendations and methods for the investigators to carry work for further system developments.

“…This approach enables the application of desalination in remote water-scarce regions and extends the lifespan of units while decreasing costs through the use of corrosion-free materials [3]. The globe is grappling with a scarcity of water owing to industrialization, population growth, and water contamination; hence, it is imperative to investigate alternative decentralized systems like passive solar distillers that rely on renewable sources of energy to cater to the requirements of rural regions, even though their manufacture is somewhat constrained [4]. Clean drinking water may be distilled from dirty sources using solar energy, a sustainable and inexpensive power source that does not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions via the process of solar water distillation [5].…”

On a worldwide basis, freshwater is becoming increasingly limited, particularly in dry and distant regions. This presents a complex problem for regions such as islands, where the transportation of water that is suitable for drinking is expensive. In order to address this dilemma, the primary focus of the 21st century ought to be on boosting water purification through the use of renewable energy technology in the desalination industry. To be more specific, the incorporation of solar energy into the business has the potential to extend the lifespan of units, reduce expenses, and reduce the positive impact on the environment. The article contains a sufficient number of studies on a variety of passive and active stills, and it offers an understanding of the effectiveness of each form of still. Vacuum tube solar stills are more efficient than others. In addition to this, it investigates several approaches to cooling the glass cover and the elements that influence the productivity of solar stills, among which are environmental and design considerations. Resolving the problem of diminishing freshwater resources and integrating solar energy for water purification.

“…22 The wt.% of nanoparticles was .1, .25, and .5, and the corresponding enhancement in the thermal conductivity was 4.8, 11.2, and 25.2%, respectively. Vigneswaran et al 23 compared the conventional solar still and solar still packed with PCM. The maximum temperature difference was observed for the still with PCM.…”

Optical and thermo‐physical properties of the nanofluids play a major role in the absorption of solar energy. In the present study, photo‐thermal energy conversion of low concentration Al2O3/Deionised water (DI) water and CuO/DI water nanofluids in solar thermal collector is experimentally investigated. Properties of 50,100,150, and 200 ppm concentrations of nanofluids are reported. The absorbance results in the visible range indicate that CuO nanofluid of 200 ppm concentration is nearly three times higher compared to Al2O3 nanofluid. The extinction coefficient, optical energy band gap, and photoluminescence obtained from the absorbance data are also reported. Surfactant free nanofluids are used, and the thermal conductivity measurements show a negligible enhancement for both the nanofluids. Maximum receiver temperatures of 89 and 72°C are found with CuO and Al2O3 nanofluids, respectively, for the maximum concentration. A maximum receiver efficiency of 34.89% is obtained for CuO nanofluids.
