Re: Solar Desalination
Hi Kimmer1234,
Sorry about the delayed response.
I am not an expert on desalination but, as far as I know, there haven't been a desalination plant built that's powered entirely by solar energy. Solar Energy is just the power source so anything that generates power can be used in this process.
If you have a minute, please take a look at this unit that was built in San Diego.

Hope that gives you a bit more insights into this topic.
Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.
