Design and Construction of a Solar-Powered Seawater Desalination System for Remote Areas in India

Solar energy, a renewable energy source with zero emissions, has attracted attention all over the world as a supplier of sustainable energy. The present study, is to develop a sustainable and cost-effective solution for producing fresh water using renewable energy resource and desalination method, addressing minimal electricity generation and water shortage in coastal and arid regions, respectively. Solar stills are simple to build, can be executed by indigenous folks using locally provided accoutrements, uncomplicated in procedure by untrained manpower, no stringent conservation conditions and almost no operating cost, However, they have the drawbacks of being expensive initially, requiring a lot of land for installation, and being reliant on the amount of solar radiation available. The work serves as the initial reference for identifying electricity generation and the quality of fresh water production, which contributes to overall environmental sustainability.
