Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water

A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.

It looks like the paper is paywalled and not yet on scihub but i did find 38 pages of supplemental information with more details than the article.

5 gallons per.hour? The article says 4-6 litres - a little over a gallon.
