In this paper, experimental results on solar distillation device in UAE are reported. The experiments started from 1999,in order to obtain fundamental data for verifying heat and mass transfer model of solar distillation device. Two types of devices were tested; one is basin type which is most popular and simplest, and the other is tubular type which is considered to be more efficient than basin type. Experimental results show that the water production rate ranges about 2.0∿8.0 kg/m^2/day. In addition, it was confirmed that produced pure water was successfully utilized for irrigation water.
