This research paper deals with the experimental investigation of solar energy–based water purifier (SEBWP) of single-slope type by incorporating N similar evacuated tubular collectors (ETCs) having series connection. Experimental investigation has been done for a year from August 2018 to July 2019. MATLAB has been used for evaluating performance parameters of the system followed by the validation of these results with their experimental values. A fair agreement has been found between theoretical and experimental values. Values of correlation coefficients for condensing glass temperature, water temperature, and water yield have been found to be 0.9932, 0.9928, and 0.9951 respectively. Further, energy metrics, productivity, cost of producing 1 kg of fresh water, and exergoeconomic and enviroeconomic parameters have been evaluated. Values of energy payback time, per kilogram cost of producing fresh water and exergy loss per unit Rs. have been evaluated to be 1.72 years, Rs. 0.95/kg, and 0.128 kWh/Rs. respectively.
