Desalination by photovoltaic thermal (PVT)-driven forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD) stands out for its lower operational costs reduced carbon emissions. However, the feasibility of a pilot-scale PVT-driven FO-MD system remains unexplored, which is crucial industrialization. This study introduces pilot PVT-FO-MD desalination designed simultaneous water electricity production. The aims to assess process, evaluate costs, explore potential industrial applications. While PVT collectors have higher than standard PV panels, they offer improved electrical efficiency additional power generation, making them more efficient overall. optimal design was tested using saline with concentration 10 000 mg per liter NaCl draw solute 1 molarity. produces 172.1 kW h energy, 93.9 269 L daily. FO flux varies between 8.13 8.29 LMH, while MD fluctuates 2.72 4.25 LMH throughout year. Using average yearly weather data, 33 872 65 846 106.84 m3 annually. Increasing unit size boosts production 126.47 project requires an initial capital investment 212 741.38 USD. return on 11.84%, breakeven point at nine years. net present value turns positive just before end project's lifetime 10% interest rate. Although this type has not yet been commercialized, further studies are recommended enhance market competitiveness.
