It is the photons striking water molecules on the surface that is the most active mechanism, not the temperature of the water. (somewhere I have an article on this in a global warming post... )

That is something I did not know

This desalinator set up in the diagram is also workable to treat gray water; sludge will develop in the pan rather than salt. (Prolly a salty sludge. )

I have been wracking my brain to see if you could have a continuous channel of salt water, washing though one channel with collectors on either side. My old nursery igloo-hot- house gave me that idea. Unfortunately I can't draw for nuts.
This is not quite what I had in mind, but you may be able to see where i am coming from.
