Abstract

A completely solar-powered greenhouse complex has been designed for climate controlled food production in hot, humid environments. The concept uses passive design features to provide irrigation water from saline water sources. This paper discusses the overall system concept and the solar still subsystem which has been designed to provide a continuous fresh water supply. While incorporating many innovative features, the use of proven technologies and passive design results in a system that should compete economically with current, more traditional designs.
