The incorporation of external solar thermal collectors with MSF allows it to have high gained output ratios (GOR) 57. The SEC of MD and MSF covers a range of 100–926.8 kWh/m 3 and 81–106 kWh/m 3, respectively.
Continuing efficiency improvements in both solar energy generation and water desalination, and effectively merging them to optimize solar-to-water conversion, could unlock considerable potential. Recent advancements in membrane materials with plasmonic photothermal components for membrane distillation have significantly improved system performance.

In this study, an advanced solar-powered OHE which consists of a CPC system for harvesting solar energy, a two-bed adsorption-based desalination component with heat recovery scheme for thermal separation and a reverse electrodialysis component for electricity generation is presented and a dynamic model is established.
, a total output net power of 577.9 kJ/kg, and a district heating supply of 1074 kJ/kg. A detailed breakdown of the cost rates for each component reveals that the solar collector accounts for US $ 26.77/h, representing approximately 68% of the total hourly cost. The subsequent components in terms of cost are the ORC, TEG, and RO units.
