Experimental measurements to determine conditions necessary for efficient solar desalination are given. The effects on performance of using wax latent haet material with storage system in pyramid type solar stills are investigated. Main objective of this present paper is to study the behavior of the still performance with latent heat material by analyzing the internal and external heat transfer modes and thermophysical properties of the pyramid type solar still.
