This experimental study compared the performance of a Solar Distiller (SD) with and without black-painted crab shells in Chennai, India. The findings revealed that using energy storage materials, such as crab shells and blackpainted crab shells, significantly enhanced the SD's output. Key results showed that the distilled water output was 1.68 kg for the SD, 2.4 kg for the SD with crab shells, 1.69 kg for the SD, and 2.95 kg for the SD with blackpainted crab shells. Energy efficiency increased from 17.07 % in the SD to 26.62 % with crab shells and 30.74 % with black-painted crab shells. Similarly, exergy efficiency rose from 1 % in the SD to 2.09 % with crab shells and 2.37 % with black-painted crab shells. Notably, the distilled water output in the SD with black-painted crab shells improved by 74.8 % compared to the SD without them.
