A device for desalting sea or brackish water by means of solar energy essentially comprises two adjacent canals or equivalent systems fed with seawater or brackish water and a greenhouse-type structure placed over one of the canals for evaporating the water. A fresh-water condensing and collecting structure is adapted to communicate with the greenhouse structure and is largely immersed in the water of the other canal which performs the function of a cold source for the condensing structure.

A device for desalting sea or brackish water using solar energy, characterized by the fact that it includes two adjacent canals or equivalent structures fed with the sea or brackish water, a green house type structure over one of the canals to vaporize water from it and a structure for condensation of water and for collecting softwater, the structure being in communication with the greenhouse structure and largely immersed in the other canal, which acts as the cold source for the condensating unit.
