dc.description.abstractThe efficiency of SS (single slope) solar still integrated with Photovoltaic-thermal collector (PVT) is investigated underneath Niamey’s climatic weather condition. Thus, a theoretical study is conducted, and MATLAB software is used to simulate the equations and data of climatic condition in Niamey. Three different months have been used for the computations. The electrical efficiency and thermal power of PVT structure, along with the temperatures of water and glass cover are determined. Also, the daily freshwater yield and overall thermal efficiency of the system are calculated. As result, maximum electrical and thermal efficiencies of this structure at noon are found to be 14% and 58.09% respectively. The maximum temperature of water is recorded to be 60? while that of glass cover is reported to 51.4?. The highest freshwater production rate is observed to be 1.10 kg/m2 per hour at noon time, and the daily freshwater yield is 2.62 kg/m.
