People around the world are facing water scarcity, and the demand for freshwater is continuously increasing. The purification of water is the only way to satisfy the need for water. Purification can be done in many ways by purifying seawater or by storing rainwater and letting it to the ground. Different types of solar still are there, which are used to increase the output of water produced. Among others, inclined solar still (ISS) is an outstanding solution as it has a wide exterior area of water, having less depth of water to complement the regular potable water production, even the effectiveness of the inclined solar still. A lot of research had been done by increasing the surface area of water. The day to day collection of water from the ISS was found to be 1–8 kg m^− 2. In this review, an analysis was made on the current status of different ISS designs to make advance modifications and research to improve the productivity of the ISS to satisfy the increasing demand for potable water. From this investigation, it is identified that active ISS and hybrid ISS are the most effective as compared to other ISS techniques.

世界各地的人们都面临着水的短缺，对淡水的需求也在不断增加。水的净化是满足水需求的唯一方法。净化可以通过净化海水或存储雨水并将其放到地面上的多种方式进行。那里仍然有不同类型的太阳能蒸馏器，用于增加产生的水的产量。其中，倾斜太阳能蒸馏器（ISS）是一种出色的解决方案，因为它具有宽广的水域面积，较少的水深以补充常规的饮用水生产，甚至是倾斜太阳能蒸馏器的有效性。通过增加水的表面积已经进行了许多研究。每天从国际空间站收集的水量为1–8 kg m ^{− 2}。在这篇综述中，对不同ISS设计的现状进行了分析，以进行提前修改和研究，以提高ISS的生产率，以满足对饮用水的不断增长的需求。通过这项调查，可以确定主动式ISS和混合式ISS与其他ISS技术相比是最有效的。
