The solar desalination and power generating system (10) is a hybrid system combining a Fresnel solar concentrator with a solar desalination still (14), and further including at least one concentrating photovoltaic cell for simultaneously generating electrical power. The solar still (14) includes an absorber base, at least one sidewall, and a hollow cover. The hollow cover has an inlet port for receiving seawater, which passes through an interior of the hollow cover and exits through at least one outlet port into an open interior region of the solar still (14). At least one collection duct collects pure water condensate. A vacuum pump selectively lowers the pressure within the open interior region of the solar still (14). The solar still (14) is suspended above a linear Fresnel reflector array (20) such that the at least one concentrating photovoltaic cell (90), mounted to a lower surface of the absorber base, is positioned at a focal line thereof. Fig. 1.
