During recent years there has been a renewed interest for the development of efficient renewable energy driven desalination systems for distributed small-scale production that would supply remote and small communities. In this paper is presented a short review of these technologies driven by thermal solar energy including fundamentals, technical performance data and economics. Also in the second part of the paper are described the recent activities in this field of the Applied Thermal Engineering research group (CREVER) at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain).
