Abstract | A massive amount of energy is needed to generate clean and safe potable drinking water. Malaysia, strategically located on the earth’s equator, is turning to solar energy as a solution. This study focuses on the integration of a solar photo voltaic system with the existing solar still technology. It is designed by harvesting the heat energy directly from the Sun and partially combining it with the shaded section using PV modules together with the PV Water Purification System (PvWPS). The experiment was conducted for three days in November 2017, in Malaysia. A stainless steel basin of |
