| description | The critical increase in the lack of available freshwater worldwide owing to different anthropogenic and natural causes has led mankind to seek serious solutions, such as the use of solar stills. This study shows the design and performance of a dual-slope solar still powered by a mild hybrid power supply system. Different power supply configurations were created for the solar still, and commercial phase change materials were incorporated into the prototype. The highest freshwater production rate in the active solar still (6.76 l/m2d) was obtained when power was supplied from the portable photovoltaic plant at the beginning of the test, with an associated cost per liter of produced water of 0.2218 USD. It was shown that phase change materials increased the heat retention time and optimized the energy supply in the solar still. However, their use did not result in lower freshwater production costs. |
