Solar still is a cost-effective and environment-friendly device to convert saline water into potable by employing solar energy in developing countries; however, it has an inferior thermal performance. This paper presents an attempt to improve energy efficiency and productivity of solar still by improving the design of the absorber plate. Modified solar still has been tested with a stepped-corrugated absorber plate. During the experimentation, it is found that the thermal performance of modified solar still is superior to conventional solar still. The average basin saline water temperature and the temperature difference between saline water and condenser glass cover are higher for stepped-corrugated solar still by 19.67 and 105.75%, respectively, as compared with conventional solar still. The average energy efficiency, exergy efficiency and productivity are found to be 259.61, 418.61 and 147.93% higher for stepped-corrugated solar still. Economic analysis indicates that the cost of distil water production is approximately Rs. 1.73 (0.023 $) per litre, and the payback period is 12 months, with carbon credits earned are approximately Rs. 11,998 (157.76 $).

“…EPBT depends on the embodied energy of various components used in the solar still and the annual energy output i.e. distillate yield obtained from the triple-slope solar still [Pal et al, 2018]. EPBT can be evaluated as (4) Annual Energy Out (E out, ann ) is given by: E out, ann = Average daily yield x number of clear days in a year x latent heat of vaporization of water.…”

In this paper, the embodied energy, pay-back period and cost analysis of triple slope solar still (TSSS) are studied which is compared with the double slope solar still (DSSS). The embodied energy is an important factor in determining optimum material for solar still whose value depends on local availability of materials and their manufacturing processes. The total embodied energy of TSSS comes out to be 3297.35MJ. Energy pay-back time is 0.251 years and the total cost for constructing TSSS is Rs. 14049. The TSSS embodied energy comes out to be 9.28% less than double slope solar still. EPBT of TSSS comes out to be 153.7 % smaller than of DSSS.

Sun radiation is the heat energy source for solar still.That should be utilized maximum for increasing the evaporative rate at the top surface of the brine. The pyramid shape solar still (PSSS) can receive solar input radiation from all four directions. In this research, the top layer of conventional pyramid shape solar still (CPSSS) is covered with air-packed cover and analysed the effect in the modified still after air packed in between the two glasses, finally, that result is compared with the CPSSS. The air inside the two glasses will be receiving maximum radiation and retain in it. It can be used as top side insulation and which can ensure the maximum insulation for heat energy inside the PSSS. The CPSSS and air-packed pyramid shape solar still (APPSSS) were fabricated and experimented. The experiments were conducted at an ambient condition of the Chennai, Tamil Nadu (12.9416°N, 80.2362°E).The CPSSS gives good yield at evening when an increase in wind velocity. The APPSSS gives a lower performance as compared to the CPSSS due to the air-packed cover. K E Y W O R D Sdesalination, double glass, pyramid shape solar still, single glass, solar energy
