The primary objective of this study is to develop a robust model that employs a fuzzy logic interface (FL) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) to forecast the optimal parameters of a pyramid solar still (PSS). The model considers a range of environmental variables and varying levels of silver nanoparticles (Ag) mixed with paraffin wax, serving as a phase change material (PCM). The study focuses on three key factors: solar intensity ranging from 350 to 950 W/m2, water depth varying between 4 and 8 cm, and silver (Ag) nanoparticle concentration ranging from 0.5 to 1.5% and corresponding output responses are productivity (P), glass temperature (Tg), and basin water temperature (Tw). The experimental design is based on Taguchi's L9 orthogonal array. A technique for ordering preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) is utilized to optimize the process parameters of PSS. Incorporating a fuzzy inference system (FIS) aims to minimize the uncertainty within the system, and the particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed to fine-tune the optimal settings. These methodologies are employed to forecast the optimal conditions required to enhance the productivity of the PSS
