Potable water is crucial in today's society, which is resolving the freshwater issue. In this work, the progress of direction in a basin area inner heat transmission mode with a Double Effect Solar Distiller (DESD), which is approaching the temperature mechanisms (parameters) for the Laplacian method using builds coated basin areas with a TiO2/Jackfruit peel with silver balls (TJPSB) blend is done. To create green TiO2 nanoparticles from eco-friendly bleaching chemicals and jackfruit peel, a green nanoscale approach has been developed. The TiO2/Jackfruit peels (TJP) (0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%), along with the performance of silver color balls, are used to build and verify the DESD. The TJP materials studies were supported by the surface morphology analysis of chemical compounds with functional energy absorption additions. A typical particle magnitude of jackfruit peel has 40–60 nm, giving a zeta potential value. Images taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) presented an absorbent structure with 85% crystallinity in the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurements. The TJPSB by the DESD outcomes as of 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. focuses on 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% by layer yields of approximately 4.800 L/m2, 5.560 L/m2, then 6.120 L/m2, individually. More vibration basin regions that benefit from TJPSB's average productivity of 50.55% and 8.790 L/m2/d attracted to focus on 0.3% with a performance of DESD. TJPSB initially presents further manipulative applications of solar desalination process ingredients. Maximum access to the energy, exergy productivity of DESD consequences is 41% and 5.63%, individually. Based on water depth of 0.8 cm, TJPN is discovered in 20% of cases. Overall DESD efficiency is 7.35 kg m2 per day at 12 h of 30% TJPN observation and 0.8 cm of water depth. An economic analysis of DESD was found with a cost of concentration that portable water (per liter) and assessed approximately 0.0726$ by reimbursement term of 14 months. The average thermo-enviro-economics analysis of DESD was found to be 3.35 (exergy), and 4.71% (Energy).
