In Southern Algeria, the only source of drinking water is underground water; however, it is of high salinity. In this area, the solar irradiance is high throughout the year and the quantity of groundwater is enormous; hence, the solar distillation of this water seems to be the cheaper way to solve the shortage encountered in fresh water. This experimental work presents a coupling between the solar chimney power plant and conventional solar still. The aim is to increase the output on distillate by providing the still by supplement and boost heat. To do that, two single slope glass-sides solar stills and solar chimney prototypes have been installed and tested at Ouargla University. One of the two solar stills is coupled with the solar chimney through a copper tube with serpentine shape containing hot brackish water coming from the chimney and crossing its absorber, while the other still remains as witness. Experimental results reveal that the average rise of brackish water temperature in the still’s absorber roughly reaches approximately 20°C and the daily output of distillate reaches 6.951 kg/m2/d with an improvement of almost 158% compared with the baseline case.
