The key points in solar-driven interfacial desalination are solar-thermal conversion and the subsequent thermal-vapor generation [14]. Generally, solar-driven interfacial desalination consists of two parts: the top layer, which effectively absorbs solar radiation, and the bottom layer, which includes thermal insulation and a water transfer layer [ 15 ].
For industrial process heat, solar thermal (ST) collectors can generate medium temperature thermal energy directly, but solar photovoltaics (PV) can also be used-indirectly-to generate the same

Photovoltaic research in China began in 1958 with the development of China's first piece of monocrystalline silicon. Research continued with the development of solar cells for space satellites in 1968. The Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led this research for a year, stopping after batteries failed to operate.
Some recent data indicate that China’s newly installed photovoltaic power capacity in 2016 may exceed 19GW, which would transform China into the world’s largest photovoltaic market. However, the development of the photovoltaic industry in China has suffered many difficulties and challenges in the past several years.
