Effect of various factors on the productivity of solar stills: mini review

Solar distillation is a technology that uses solar energy to evaporate and condense water to remove salts and impurities, making it an efficient method of desalination. It is a clean, sustainable and environmentally friendly method. However, its low productivity and dependence on the weather conditions must be taken into account when designing solar distillation systems. This document therefore provides detailed information on the factors that affect solar still productivity. The main objective of this document is to review the most recent and most comprehensive research that addresses the factors that impact the performance of the different types of solar stills, the materials used in stills, and the design techniques for and possible applications of stills. In addition, this study offers some recommendations on the future prospects of solar distillation technology.
