Application of solar power in desalination

A solar-powered desalination unit produces potable water from saline water through direct or indirect methods of desalinationpowered by sunlight. Countries such as Australia, Italy and Egypt have adopted this system as an alternative source of water for the population.
Direct solar desalination produces distillate directly in the solar collector.
An example would be a solar still which traps the Sun's energy to obtain freshwater through the process of evaporation and condensation. Indirect solar desalination incorporates solar energy collection systems with conventional desalination systems such as multi-stage flash distillation, multiple effect evaporation, freeze separation or reverse osmosis to produce freshwater.
