Abstract
This chapter presents the analysis of a solar distillation system with phase change material storage system. There is always a scarcity of clean and pure drinking water in many developing countries. Water from various sources is often brackish (i.e. contain dissolved salts) and/or contains harmful bacteria and therefore, cannot be used for drinking purpose. In addition, there are many coastal areas where seawater is abundant but potable water is not available in sufficient quantity. Apart from drinking purpose, pure water is also useful for health and industrial purposes such as hospitals, schools and batteries etc. Many parts of India, particularly, rural areas, coastal areas and many urban areas too, have a major drinking water problem. Sufficient drinking water, at accepted purity level, is just not available.
