“…We have conducted scientific studies on a few types of solar stills [3,4], and have also proposed application to very big systems [5]. Based on our experience, we have turned our attention from industrial mass production systems to a variety of consumer life-styles and resource recycling problems.…”

“…2003, Elsevier"). Double-slope basin solar still (roof or greenhouse type): The basin in this type of still is airtight; it is normally constructed from concrete, galvanized iron sheet, or fiber reinforced plastic with a top transparent cover [29]. In order to be able to absorb maximum solar radiation, the base is painted in black.…”

This up-to-date and comprehensive literature study provides a rich overview of recent developments in several solar still types. This review examines a large number of theoretical, experimental, and computational studies connected to the single-slope, double-slope, solar still with a condenser, hybrid, and other limited types of solar stills. To make the work more relevant to readers, the authors provide a panoramic view of solar still varieties as well as a complete overview of the most recently published review papers in the solar stills field. The most important conclusions drawn from prior research are carefully discussed and outlined in a useful table to give interested researchers a good road map of many various sorts of solar stills and encourage them to pursue new research avenues in this field. The foremost key results of the evaluated work are presented in a table for readers’ convenience. The results indicated that the absorption in the basin was improved by adding charcoal, matt, sponge, jute and cotton clothes, dye, wick, porous or energy-storing material, black rubber, and floating absorber sheet. Moreover, the productivity of solar stills was significantly improved by using the inclined external flat-plate reflector, combined stills, condenser, sun tracking system, reflectors, greenhouse, hot water tank, solar collector, heat exchanger, and solar pond. Further, heat loss was minimized by re-utilizing the latent heat of condensation, cover cooling, and increasing the insulation thickness.
