Okay, so solar stills are available, but do not produce a very high
ethanol concentration with distillation. What about using solar
energy to preheat your solution before it reaches a regular still.
If you could preheat with solar power, less energy would need to be
input it to the final distillation processes.

I keep seeing information about energy use for distillation being a
limiting factor using ethanol as an alternative fuel source. Has
anyone looked into using some sort of solar collector to provide
the
heat (or at least some of the heat) needed for distillation?

Is ethanol energy-efficient?
