The need for clean drinking water is increasing daily with the increase in the population and the high standard of living. A large part of the world's energy is spent on drinking water and this energy comes from fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is close to depletion and causes major environmental problems, including global warming and climate change. The use of solar energy to produce potable water is an excellent alternative and can be relied upon using solar distillers, which are simple to configure and cost-effective and have proved their potential and relied on by many peoples for centuries. The design and construction of a solar distiller based on the method of water dripping on a hot surface to obtain rapid evaporation with a large area of condensation. The efficiency of this distillation was compared to a simple mono-millimeter pump designed for this purpose. The results showed that the proposed distillation yields greater yield than the simple distillate. Adding reflectors to concentrate the solar radiation all the time on the distiller resulted in an increase in distillate yield of up to 14%.
