Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of an Eco-Friendly Building Integrated Solar Still

Abstract

The need for clean water is escalating rapidly due to the steady rise in global population growth, industrialization, and common utility & agricultural purposes. Due to this scenario, seawater desalination is needed. So In this study, an Eco-friendly Building Integrated solar still system was manufactured. To identify the stability of the Building Integrated solar still system long-term performance analysis was carried out. For a better understanding, the result is further contrasted with the FRP-based single basin solar still operating in the same climate. The Obtained results reveal the improvement in the production of freshwater compared to conventional methods. The distilled water productivity increased by around 8.4% in Building Integrated solar still & compared to FRP-based solar still productivity in the daily production. In progress, Building Integrated Solar still is the best alternative solution compared with traditional ones. Purposed Building Integrated Solar still performed well in experimental trials.
