However, the use of water from such sources is always not good, because of the polluted environment. In present work phase change material(Bitumen) is used to store the solar thermal energy in the form of latent heat, which can offer high storage capacity per unit volume and per unit mass and we can get heat in the night time for desalination. The efficiency of the solar still without PCM is about 25.19% and in presence of PCM (Bitumen) will rises.
