Solar Thermal Desalination

Solar thermal desalination uses solar energy to heat seawater, causing evaporation and condensation to produce freshwater. This method is particularly attractive for regions with high solar radiation and limited access to energy.

• Applications: Small-scale or remote desalination systems, arid regions with abundant sunlight, and off-grid communities.

• Advantages: Uses renewable energy, low operational costs once installed, and environmentally friendly with minimal carbon emissions.
