Techno-Economic Study of a New Hybrid Solar Desalination System for Producing Fresh Water in a Hot–Arid Climate

By taking advantage of the obtained experimental data, the impact of employing concentrating solar collectors, using an electric heater, and changing the water height in the basin on the performance of a hybrid solar still system was investigated. Eight different operating modes for the system were...
