This work represents an overview of solar still and their classification along with a review of relevant studies conducted in the several years over solar still. In this paper we discuss about a technique used to convert brackish or saline water into potable water is called as solar desalination. The demand of consumable water keeps on increasing due to high population density and automation. Solar energy is used for the conversion phenomenon and the device used for desalination is known as a solar still. The solar intensity, wind speed and environment temperature cannot be controlled as they are weather-related factors. Solar radiation denotes the most vital factor of still output. Investigation modification of solar still based on condensing plate, absorbing materials and energy storing materials such as gravel, black rubber, packed layer and charcoal materials. Also investigation of solar still using integrated technique and different design parameter such as flat plate collectors, evacuated heat tube, steeped solar still, pyramid solar still, tubular solar still, multi basin solar still and also using internal and external condenser, reflectors to increase performance of solar still.

Basin, Condensation, Cover Plate, Evaporation and Solar still modification.
