What are the types of solar drinking water supply systems?

There are mainly two types of solar drinking water supply systems available: passive and active systems. Passive systems rely on natural convection and gravity to move the water, while active systems use pumps to circulate the water. Passive systems are simple and tend to be cheaper, but are less effective in areas with limited sunlight. Active systems are more complex and expensive, but can provide an efficient and reliable water supply even in areas with less sunlight. Both types of systems typically consist of solar collectors that heat the water, a storage tank, and a distribution system to bring drinking water to the end user.
