How much does the aerogel improve the process as opposed to a simple solar still?

Go test it and report back the results.

Maybe more efficient, in some circumstances?

My first concern would be for the aerogel trapping the salt and microparticles in the water - clogging itself up, and requiring regular maintenance.
