TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of solar water heating systems for typical residential buildings, from the energetic, economic and environmental perspectives, and included two different types of solar collectors (i.e., flat-plate and evacuated-tube solar collectors), two types of auxiliary systems (e.g., natural gas and electricity), and three different locations (i.,e., Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported about the recent reformation carried out in the solar still and humidification dehumidification desalination system using renewable energy sources for improving the fresh water production rate.
Abstract: This article reports about the recent reformation carried out in the solar still and humidification dehumidification desalination system using renewable energy sources for improving the fresh water production rate In solar still, the impact of integration of fins, usage of energy storing materials and wick materials, mixing of nanoparticles, agitation effect, transparent cover cooling, integration of thermoelectric cooler, multi effect of solar still, preheating with water heater and photovoltaic thermal collector, refine the condensing cover, operating with heat pump and refrigeration and integration with waste heat recovery are discussed The recent recast carried out in the packed bed humidification and bubble column desalination using solar energy and biomass energy is also reported It is observed that the solar still water output remarkably enhances with the integration of solar collectors, nanoparticles in water and cover cooling In HDH desalination, bubble column humidifier found to be better compared to the packed bed and other type of humidifiers Also it is noticed that the biomass based desalination systems are more suitable for the places with lower solar radiation and places with higher biomass sources
