TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed review of a solar still integrated to solar collectors for augmenting the yield of fresh water is presented, and the yield, economic aspects and payback period of different solar still are reviewed, and a possible conclusion with the integration of low-cost solar water heater and nanofluids in solar Water heater are arrived.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of water depth and flow rate on the yield of fresh water produced from stills and found that the yield was improved by integrating inclined solar still with triangular pyramid solar still.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of integration of solar still and PV module has been presented, where the daily fresh water produced from passive solar still was found to be 2-5 kg/m 2 whereas from an active solar still integrated with PV/T collector can produced daily yield of about 6-12 kg /m 2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of an inclined solar still with and without baffles is studied and it is shown that the yield of fresh water and the evaporation of water inside the solar still are completely dependent on the retention time of water with solar radiance.

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental and exergy analysis of solar still with the sand heat energy storage system was studied and it was shown that the exergy efficiency of the system is higher with the least water depth of 0.02 m (mw = 20 kg).
