Popis: Solar stills have been welcomed by many researchers due to the very low cost of manufacturing and the lack of complicated mechanisms, as well as the need for service and maintenance. Extensive researches, including modeling, optimization, combination of mechanisms, economic analysis, and localization of various active and passive models of these devices has been carried out to date. The results of these researches, together with the high potential of these devices to implement new ideas on them, led to the construction and testing of a wide range of different types of models. Most of the researches have been conducted in Asian and African countries with hot and dry weather and has always been emphasized on the appropriateness of these devices for using in remote areas. Researches are currently under way on these devices in most parts of the world. In the present study, experimental researches on these devices has been reviewed. This study shows that the focus is on the use of new and cost effective methods to increase the output and thermal efficiency of devices, which differ in the active and passive type devices.
