The desalination process takes place in solar still. Solar still is a device that converts saline water to potable water. This process requires seawater and sunlight which are widely available on Earth. However, the current solar desalination generation capacity is generally low and has high installation cost. Hence, there is a need for the enhancement of the productivity which can be achieved through few modifications. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities of solar water desalination worldwide. It presents a comprehensive review of solar desalination technologies that have been developed in recent years which covers the economic and environmental aspects. © The authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2017. date: 2017 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85033213063&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f201713102004&partnerID=40&md5=1bbe1e97455acc41a08aa109516411a6 id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/201713102004 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 131 refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Marimuthu, T.A. and Mekbib Atnaw, S. and Mardarveran, P.A. and Shu Yi, S. and Binti Usop, M.A. and Bin Md Gapar, M.K. and Binti Rusdan, S.A. and Ramli, R.B.M. and Sulaiman, S.A.
