One of them was conventional solar still, while the two other stills were equipped with sand layer and black sponges in the basin. The last system was prepared with 50 W solar photovoltaic-DC heater. The study was conducted to enhance the drinking water production experimentally under Malaysian tropical climate. The productivities of combining sand layer and solar panel-heater were 33 and 43 higher than the conventional solar still. This finding is expected to have useful applications in water supply particularly in remote, rural and coastal areas. © 2013 IEEE. date: 2013 publisher: IEEE Computer Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84901742528&doi=10.1109%2fCEAT.2013.6775679&partnerID=40&md5=a0eaed3f7768154ad9314f53f7f08333 id_number: 10.1109/CEAT.2013.6775679 full_text_status: none publication: CEAT 2013 - 2013 IEEE Conference on Clean Energy and Technology place_of_pub: Langkawi pagerange: 473-477 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479932375 citation: Riahi, A. and Yusof, K.W. and Sapari, N.B. and Malakahmad, A. and Hashim, A.M. and Singh, B.S.M.
