This review demonstrates enhanced productivity in solar desalination, indicating better designs for varied applications.

The aim is to evaluate various modified solar still designs to determine their effectiveness for fresh water production.
Reviewed existing literature on solar desalination technologies and modified designs
Examined productivity improvements from alternative solar still configurations
Identified optimal designs for industrial and personal applications
Fresnel lens and single-slope designs showed up to 638.02% productivity improvement
Other modifications yielded productivity increases between 24.8% and 370%
Tubular designs with wicks are favored for industrial use, while single-slope is better for domestic use
