Reference request - Overview over established solar thermal desalination technologies

Question

I'm looking for an overview of established solar thermal desalination technologies. The wiki page is remarkably poor on sources.

"Established" means there is a large scale plant (>50 m³/d) or many small scale plants with several years 'uptime'. The overview should include the working principles/principle construction and basic performance metrics (throughput in conditions). Anything written in this century is recent enough.

Here are a couple of papers published between 2011 and 2016:
