In this study the double basin with the size of 1000mm×330mm×380mm and 1000mm×590mm×310mm are used. This basin type solar still is a simplest method to produce clean potable water. Distillation is a technology to develop by using solar still. The natural water cycle is a type of distillation. In this project work, the experiments are carried out at different constant input conditions by maintaining a constant depth of water. Hourly inner as well as outer glass temperature, ambient air temperature was recorded during clear sunny days of Nagpur. The variation in production rate of different parameters has been analyzed. It is observed that the production rate increases by coupling evacuated tubes and reflector. The difference in rate of productivity of single and double basin is observed. The payback period for solar still is 137days.
