Abstract: The solar distillation system includes N-identical 25% partly covered
photovoltaic thermal compound parabolic concentrator collectors (N-PVT-CPC), each
collector having a reflective surface and a receiver area, a helically coiled heat exchanger
integrated with a single slope solar distiller unit, collectors connected in series and
positioned at an angle of 45° facing south, a basin fluid containing CuO nanoparticles,
wherein the fluid is circulated through the heat exchange, a glass cover positioned at an
inclination angle of 30° to the horizontal, covering the basin, a DC motor driven by
electricity generated by the photovoltaic modules, wherein the motor operates a pump for
fluid circulation, nanoparticles, specifically CuO nanoparticles, utilized for heat exchange
with the basin fluid, and vapor condensation mechanism collecting condensed water at
the lower ends of the inclined glass cover.
