Abstract
This manuscript brings out with an impact of insulation on energy and exergy effectiveness of a solar photovoltaic panel incorporated inclined solar still. This research is mainly focuses on the studies of the solar still performance from the different parameter such as solar still yield, thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency, solar panel electrical, exergy and thermal efficiency and overall daily thermal and exergy efficiency of the solar panel integrated inclined solar still. The maximum distilled water of 6.2 kg was achieved as the solar panel integrated inclined still with the bottom and the sidewall insulation. The daily yield of 3.3, 4.1 and 6.2 kg, the daily energy effectiveness of 31.32, 38.81, and 57.88 and the daily exergy effectiveness of 1.72, 2.21, and 4.61% was obtained from the solar panel integrated solar still without, with the sidewall, and with the bottom and sidewall insulation, respectively.
