Concentrator-assisted solar still for improving freshwater yield: an experimental approach.

The present experimental study aims to make advancements in the daily production of freshwater by a single solar still, with the ultimate goal of increasing its efficiency. The experiment was carried out in the solar still with and without integration at four different water masses within the basin, and metrics such as water, glass, basin temperature, and drinkable water generated were measured. The results showed that the daily distillate collected from the integrated system using 2.

Analysis of a solar still with photovoltaic modules and electrical heater - Energy and exergy approach.

The availability of drinkable water, along with food and air, is a fundamental human necessity. Because of the presence of higher amounts of salt and pollution, direct use of water from sources such as lakes, sea, rivers, and subsurface water reservoirs is not normally suggested. Solar is still a basic technology that can use solar energy to transform accessible waste or brackish water into drinkable water.

Performance enhancement of solar photovoltaic system for roof top garden.

The photovoltaic (PV) for irrigation system is an emerging technology to harness the solar energy. The performance of the PV modules depends on the incident solar radiation, geographical location, and the surface temperature of the modules. The performance of the PV system needs to be monitored by manually or embedded controllers.

Energy and exergy efficiency analysis of solar still incorporated with copper plate and phosphate pellets as energy storage material.

In this work, a new attempt was made to study the behavior of the conventional solar still (CSS) by adding a black-painted copper plate and phosphate pellets. Therefore, the performance of the three solar stills has been studied and compared. The first is the CSS, and the second is the modified solar still (MSS).

Effect of fins and silicon dioxide nanoparticle black paint on the absorber plate for augmenting yield from tubular solar still.

The present study aims at enhancing the yield of tubular solar still (TSS) by employing fins and coating the absorber plate. We doped the SiO nanoparticles into black paint at the weight concentration ranging from 10 to 40%. The solar still was tested in a bright sunny climatic condition of Chennai, Indian (lat.
