Summary
A solar chimney power plant is coupled with a seawater solar still and analysed with a simple mass and energy balance model for summer and winter conditions at 30°N. Freshwater yield depends strongly on the depth of the water layer, while chimney and collector dimensions matter little. Both water production and electrical output peak in summer, and the model agrees well with published experimental data.
