Direct sunlight has been utilized long back for desalination of water. Solar distillation plants are used for supplying desalinated water to small communities nearby coastal remote areas. Solar stills are easy to construct, can be done by local people from locally available materials, simple in operation by unskilled personnel, no hard maintenance requirements and almost no operating cost. But they have the disadvantages of high initial cost, large land requirement for installation and have output dependent on the available solar radiation. If there is no sunshine, the productivity is almost zero for the conventional basin type model. However, from the simplest basin type models of solar still in earlier days, researchers have progressed a lot to increase its efficiency. Suitable modification of solar still can produce high output using minimum areas of land and even in cloudy days. One of such upgraded version is capillary stills, which are gaining popularity for their high output.
