Abstract

Solar still is a useful device that gives puredistillated water from impure and brackish water using solar energy. Solar energy is non-conventional, inexhaustible, freely available and easily accessible energy so this device can be easily used in remote area where people are struggling to have pure drinking water or in the area where water purification plant can’t be established due to geographical limitation. Product water from solar still that is pure distillated water can be used for commercial purpose also. To get maximum output from the system we changed, modified and introduce four parameter which are: 1) Reflector 2) Flat Plat Collector (FPC)3) Condenser and 4) Lower Depth Solar Still. Integral effect of all these parameter can lead to better output rate and increased efficiency of solar still.
