The solar distillation system is a significant area of study globally, converting solar energy into heat to transform liquid water into steam. This research study examines the impact of a solar collector on a solar distillation system and evaluates its effect on system productivity. Solar collector connected to water pump that pumped the hot water by heat exchanger pipe inside the distillation system under the absorber plat and the phase change material found under it. The advantage of collectors lies in their ability to capture solar energy across varying surface areas, while the pump facilitates convective heat transfer between the water pipes within the collector and the water. Experimentally tested the solar distillation performance between April 2024 and March 2024, under the climatic conditions of the city of Karbala, Iraq (latitude 32.6 °N and longitude 44.02 °E). The experimental findings demonstrated that when add the solar collector the performance of still increase more and the productivity become better than without use it, and resulted in increased productivity and thermal efficiency by 76.5% and 48.5.16%, respectively.
