RO in general has higher efficiency than thermal based desalination techniques. Solar energy can be used in RO desalination plants as a source of electricity which is directly produced from the PV or indirectly from power plants that are operated by concentrated solar power collectors (CSP) and/or mechanical energy.
Disadvantage: Environmental Impact. The environmental impact is another disadvantage to water desalination plants. ... This discharge, known as brine, can change the salinity and lower the amount of oxygen in the water at the disposal site, stressing or killing animals not used to the higher levels of salt
