Abstract Water is a critical component for living existence on earth. Clean water is the need of hour, but the amount of clean water available in earth is drastically reduced due to water pollution caused by industrialization and rapid urbanization. Overall global climatic and seasonal changes also have a significant impact on the reduction of amount of fresh water. The need for clean water is continuously growing due to rise in human residents for the last few decades. Use of contaminated water leads to several water borne diseases and based on the intensity of contamination sometimes it leads to death. There are various processes for obtaining fresh water from contaminated water, but the most economical and preferable method is solar distillation since the process involved in it is similar to natural hydrological cycle which requires only solar energy for its operation. Solar stills are potable and do not require any additional skills for its operation and maintenance which makes it user friendly. Integrated PV/T solar still is used for isolated communities facing electrical energy troubles and a scarcity of good quality water. The daily fresh water produced from passive solar still was found to be 2–5 kg/m 2 whereas from an active solar still integrated with PV/T collector can produced daily yield of about 6–12 kg/m 2 . In this paper, a comprehensive review of integration of solar still and PV module has been presented.

集成 PV/T 太阳能蒸馏器 - 一个小型回顾

摘要 水是地球上生命生存的重要组成部分。清洁水是小时的需要，但由于工业化和快速城市化造成的水污染，地球上可用的清洁水量急剧减少。全球整体气候和季节变化也对淡水量的减少产生重大影响。由于过去几十年来人类居民的增加，对清洁水的需求不断增长。使用受污染的水会导致多种水传播疾病，根据污染程度，有时会导致死亡。从受污染的水中获取淡水的过程有多种，但最经济和最可取的方法是太阳能蒸馏，因为它涉及的过程类似于自然水文循环，只需要太阳能来运行。太阳能蒸馏器是可饮用的，不需要任何额外的操作和维护技能，这使得它用户友好。集成 PV/T 太阳能仍然用于面临电能问题和优质水短缺的孤立社区。发现被动式太阳能蒸馏器每天产生的淡水为 2–5 kg/m 2 ，而与 PV/T 集热器集成的主动式太阳能蒸馏器每天可产生约 6–12 kg/m 2 的淡水。在本文中，对太阳能静止和光伏组件的集成进行了全面回顾。太阳能蒸馏器是可饮用的，不需要任何额外的操作和维护技能，这使得它用户友好。集成 PV/T 太阳能仍然用于面临电能问题和优质水短缺的孤立社区。发现被动式太阳能蒸馏器每天产生的淡水为 2–5 kg/m 2 ，而与 PV/T 集热器集成的主动式太阳能蒸馏器每天可产生约 6–12 kg/m 2 的淡水。在本文中，对太阳能静止和光伏组件的集成进行了全面回顾。太阳能蒸馏器是可饮用的，不需要任何额外的操作和维护技能，这使得它用户友好。集成 PV/T 太阳能仍然用于面临电能问题和优质水短缺的孤立社区。被动式太阳能蒸馏器每天产生的淡水为 2–5 kg/m 2 ，而与 PV/T 集热器集成的主动式太阳能蒸馏器每天可产生约 6–12 kg/m 2 的淡水。在本文中，对太阳能静止和光伏组件的集成进行了全面回顾。发现被动式太阳能蒸馏器每天产生的淡水为 2–5 kg/m 2 ，而与 PV/T 集热器集成的主动式太阳能蒸馏器每天可产生约 6–12 kg/m 2 的淡水。在本文中，对太阳能静止和光伏组件的集成进行了全面回顾。发现被动式太阳能蒸馏器每天产生的淡水为 2–5 kg/m 2 ，而与 PV/T 集热器集成的主动式太阳能蒸馏器每天可产生约 6–12 kg/m 2 的淡水。在本文中，对太阳能静止和光伏组件的集成进行了全面回顾。
