The paper presents a techno‐economic model to evaluate the performance of a hybrid solar still. For this, three different sources of auxiliary energy, namely electricity, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have been considered. To appreciate the model, numerical calculations have also been made using prevailing prices of different fuels in the Indian market for the climate of Delhi, India.
