This study empirically investigated the performance of four configurations of inclined solar water desalination (ISWD) system for parameters such as daily production, efficiency, system cost, and distilled water production cost. The empirical findings show that in terms of daily productivity improved inclined solar water desalination (IISWD) performed best with 6.41 kg/m2/day while improved inclined solar water desalination with wire mesh (IISWDWM) produced the least with 3.0 kg/m2/day. In terms of cost price of the systems, the control system inclined solar water desalination (ISWD) is the cheapest while IISWDWM is the most expensive system. Distilled water cost price ranges from 0.059 TL/kg, for IISWDW, to 0.134 TL/kg, for IISWDWM system. All the systems are economically and technically feasible as a solar desalination system for potable water in northern Cyprus. Potable water from vendors/hawkers ranges from 0.2 to 0.3 TL/kg.

Solar desalination is a promising method for producing drinkable water, but salt accumulation on the evaporator surface leads to reduced light absorption. This study presents a nature-inspired self-driven salt-resistant material (NI-SRM) for a salt-free solar desalination system. The introduced material has great porosity to generate desirable capillary force to lift up water to the evaporator surface, which can function as water pumping channels. The concentration of salt solution in the absorber could not achieve saturation and produce salt via solar evaporation during the experiment. The NI-SRM had an evaporation rate of 3.02 kg-m−2 h−1 under 1 sun irradiation and outstanding long-term stability for the desalination of high-salinity brine with no apparent salt deposition. An 80% efficiency was achieved for 24 h under 1 sun (10 kW-m−2). Through control experiments, the multifunctional NI-SRM was found to play a critical role in preventing salt accumulation over the surface under 1 sun. The newly developed NI-SRM had a higher evaporation rate with higher stability in a high-salinity brine solution. The developed material is environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
