Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of w solar desalination system. More
specifically, a hybrid active solar desalination system using a combination of
photovoltaic thermal compound parabolic concentrator collectors (PVT-CPC), a double
tilted solar distillation unit, and a helically coiled heat exchanger. The hybrid active solar
desalination system includes a double tilted solar distillation unit with an n-identical
partially covered photovoltaic thermal compound parabolic concentrator collector (N-
PVT-CPC-DS), a helically coiled heat exchanger integrated into the solar distillation unit,
nanoparticles added to the basin of the solar distillation unit for enhanced heat absorption,
a condenser section for vapor condensation and collection of distilled water, a glass cover
angled at 30 degrees to the horizontal and facing south, and a DC motor and pump
powered by energy generated by the PV module.
