Solar distillation is the process in which solar heat is used to purify water from an impure water source by evaporation and condensation. When solar distillation is used to purify water from saline water, the process is also called solar desalination. Desalination converts saline water with high salt content, about 3.5% by weight in seawater and about 0.6% in brackish water, into fresh water suitable for drinking and other purposes. Use solar energy can be used for desalination, either as thermal energy through the use of solar thermal collectors or solar ponds, or as electricity. mainly through the use of photovoltaic cells.
