Abstract
•New multiple tray solar distillation process described.•Equipment output versus temperature follows Arrhenius model.•Solar desalination is financially competitive for arid remote area in desert.
Multiple tray solar distillation offers an interesting alternative for small scale desalination of brackish or sea water to produce high quality distilled water at a competitive cost. This work provides summaries of indoor/outdoor trial results of a multiple tray solar distillation model as well as a cost analysis.
