“…Abd Elbar and Hassan [26] compared the performance of a solar still without preheating and a similar solar still with feed preheating which was done by cooling a photovoltaic panel surface, the results had shown that preheating the solar still feed water by 60% increase the productivity of the solar still, the energy efficiency, the exergy efficiency by 20.9%, 20%, and 60.64%, respectively. Also, mathematical modeling for the solar still preheated by a PV Thermal panel in this research is proposed by El-Gazar et al [27] with an error of 3.59% with the experimental results. Al-Molhem and Eltawil [28] performed a cost analysis for both cases solar still without and with preheating, it was found that preheating the feed water lowered the cost per cubic meter from 0.062 to 0.059 $.…”

The present study aims to innovate small hybrid desalination plants suitable for remote regions working with higher productivity and lower cost of the produced fresh water. To achieve this idea, the small RO desalination plant was combined with the solar still, as well as this innovative hybrid desalination system was combined with the photovoltaic/thermal panel and the evacuated tube solar collector as preheating units to heat the water before it entered the proposed innovative small hybrid desalination plant. To illustrate the characterized of the proposed innovative small hybrid desalination plant, the performance of an innovative small hybrid desalination plant was compared to the conventional small RO desalination plant experimentally under the climate conditions of Tanta city, Egypt. The results presented that the annual permeate water that can be produced from the conventional small RO desalination plant without modification reached 173.74 m3/year, but for the proposed innovative small hybrid desalination plant the annual permeate water that can be produced will be increased to 352.59 m3/year, with an improvement of 102.94%. Also, the economic analysis presented that the cost of permeate water produced from the conventional RO plant without modification reached 0.915 $/m3. But the permeate water cost produced from an innovative small hybrid desalination plant will be reduced to 0.8178 $/m3, saving 10.62%.
