英文摘要	Energy and freshwater are the most prioritized needs for any nation nowadays, especially for arid areas. Giving attention to renewable energy sources like solar energy is a must towards a cleaner environment and a world with no need of temporary sources like fossil fuels. Also, a solution to lower the power requirements and costs of desalination hybrid systems should be investigated to overcome the water problem. The present study aims to design and build a novel hybrid desalination plant working with the highest productivity and lowest power consumption. This was done by incorporating a reverse osmosis desalination unit with the conventional solar distiller. The photovoltaic/thermal collectors were utilized to produce electricity as well as a heating unit in addition to the evacuated tube solar collectors, to preheat the hybrid desalination plant feed water. The results presented that the use of photovoltaic/thermal panels and evacuated tube solar collectors as preheating units improved water recovery by 46% and reduced power consumption by 38.34% for the small reverse osmosis unit but the salt rejection decreased by 4%. Cooling the photovoltaic panel increased its electricity production by 24.1% on average. Moreover, the combination of the solar distiller with the reverse osmosis unit on the feed line represents the best configuration which improves the solar distiller's productivity by 98.32% as compared to separate solar distillers. The cost of freshwater produced is 0.719 $/m3 which is cost competitive compared to previous solar desalination systems.
