Abstract
Drinking water is a top priority for all governments in the world. A large part of the world's spent fuel is consumed on portable water production. The shift to renewable energies in water distillation, such as solar energy, reduces the consumption and burning of fossil fuels. Solar distillation systems, which have been used for thousands of years, are a solution that is available, possible, and easy because of the availability of solar energy in most parts of the world. The current study aims to experiment improvements added to the solar distillation to increase the production of distilled water. Two different distillers were built: the first distiller is a simple solar distillation, and the practical experiments proved its ability to produce up to 3L/m2/d of pure water. The second distiller was type wick type distiller with productivity up to 7L/ m2/d.
