This project aims to develop a water distillation device that can purify water from almost any source, a system that is
relatively cheap, compact and relies on renewable solar energy only. The impetus for this project is the limited availability of
clean water supplies and the abundance of unclean water available for conversion into potable water.
Furthermore, there are many coastal locations where plentiful seawater is available but there is no potable water. Solar cooking
and water heating are widely accepted as clean and green energy technologies at both the domestic and commercial levels.
Referring to the different collector designs, it was concluded that the cost wise box type cooker is better and that the Compound
Parabolic Collector (CPC) is better when considering the cooking time.
