If you want a daily use solar distiller, your collection bottle or condensation coil should have a shade over it and/or something else to keep it cooler than the evaporation tank.

This is a short term survival distiller.

Also, if it's homemade at all you are still going to be most likely using plastic for seals and such. A BPA free Pom bottle isn't going to leach anything remotely significant in terms of chemicals compared to the rest of the distiller.

I'd still probably try to use glass though for the evaporation bottle if I was using it daily. The collection bottle could be glass, metal or even glazed ceramic, it shouldn't really matter.
