Comprehensive Review on the Recent Trends in Solar Photo Voltaic distillation

Distillation is used for purification across a variety of industries, including those that refine, clean gas or water, and extract essential oils from plants. It still takes a lot of work to make distillation more energy efficient and to consider other heating sources besides conventional fossil fuels because of its enormous relevance in the industry, its high energy requirements, and its consequent impact on global warming. The most common method of distillation in the world is the traditional method. This old-fashioned method uses a lot of energy. Another energy source discovered to increase the efficiency of distillation is the sun. Even though there are many other conventional energy resources, solar power is a readily available clean, sustainable, renewable, and affordable energy resource. Solar distillation refers to the practice of distillation using the sun. Compared to the conventional approach, this one is less expensive, cleaner, and more effective. For distillation, solar distillation can be combined with other processes or used independently. Many solar Photovoltaic (PV) are developed in solar distillation. The goal of this study is to increase distillation's effectiveness. Among the solar Photovoltaic developed for distillation, there is standard dew collection device, spherical Vacuum-tube distillation with a solar-powered power source, Solar Distillation connected PV Module, PCM Tube hybrid, and Solar Still with Parabolic Trough Collector, Hybrid Solar Still-Storage Medium and Compound Parabolic Concentrating, and Pyramid Solar distillation with V-Corrugated Absorber Plate and Phase Change Membrane used as a Thermal Storage Media.
