Enhancing the fresh water produced from inclined cover stepped absorber solar still using wick and energy storage materials.

Renewable energy-based desalination (RED) technique is gaining more importance over the desalination techniques as it appeared to be a promising technique towards low-cost desalination for sustainable growth as the energy demand towards other developments is continuously increasing. This study aims to incorporate energy storage materials and wick materials in the inclined solar to improve the fresh water produced. In this work, the performance of inclined solar still using coconut coir disk and energy storage material is analyzed experimentally.
