Abstract
Single basin solar still (SBSS) has low productivity in this experimental research,
some techniques have been employed to solve this problem, these techniques consist of using a flat
plate collector. The main aim of this research was to make efficient use of the flat plate collector
(FPC) to increase solar still productivity, and it works as a hybrid device. The model solar water
heater for the flat plat collector (FPC) was coupled with a solar still, and the tests were repeated
in 3 to 5 winter days, and the results were measured in the same way for each day. The results
revealed that the productivity of the still increased 87 % when coupled with one, and decreased 20
% and 50 % when coupled with two and three flat plate collectors in southern Algeria,
respectively
