Cost analysis of different solar still configurations
TLDR
In this article, a simplified model for cost analysis of different design configurations of solar desalination units is applied to evaluate the benefit of modification from the economical point of view. But, the results show that, the best average and maximum daily productivity are obtained from solar stills of single-slope and pyramid-shaped.About:
