What is solar evaporation?

Solar evaporation is a natural process where water is heated by sunlight, causing it to evaporate and leave behind dissolved solids, such as salts and minerals. This method is commonly used in salt production, where seawater is collected in shallow ponds and allowed to evaporate under the sun, concentrating the salt. The process is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, relying solely on solar energy. Additionally, solar evaporation is employed in various applications, including water treatment and the concentration of brine solutions.
