Abstract: Experimental measurements to determine conditions necessary for efficient solar desalination are given. The effects on performance of using various different absorber materials together with the integration of flat-plate collectors with storage systems in basin type solar stills are investigated. Correlations between daily yield (Y, in litres) and solar insolation (I, in MJ/m2day) are found to be, Y = 0.152I − 0.706 (for black-paint absorbers), Y = 0.180I − 0.987 (for charcoal absorbers), Y = 0.225I − 0.467 (for integrated solar collector and storage system, with black-paint absorbers). The calculated daily-average monthly yields for each case are also given.
