iv) High and Reliable Clean Water Production Rate under Real-World Conditions: The PV-MD5 system achieved a peak clean water production rate of 11.6 kg m −2 day −1, ranging among the best-performing solar-powered clean water production systems, without requiring additional energy inputs.
Solar-driven water evaporation shows great potentials for obtaining clean water. An integrated system based on clean water–energy–food with solar-desalination, power generation and crop irrigation functions is a valuable strategy consistent with sustainable development.
Water resources is a crucial element in the life cycle of renewable power generation. The energy sources supply, transportation, power plant construction and operation, electricity generation, power distribution, and disposal of wastes generated in the supply chain are directly or indirectly connected to water use and pollution.
As a result, the integrated system achieves an impressive water production rate of 4.14 kg m −2 h −1 while simultaneously maintaining a high electricity generation efficiency of 16.4 % under 1 sun, therefore maximizing the total solar energy conversion.
In this review, we briefly assess the characteristics of above PV on water system concepts and their potential for applications through case studies. The approach of this review is as follows:
