The hand cranked desalinators are expensive. I looked into them when we first moved to Southampton. If i remember correctly there are only a couple of models that you actually hand crank, as the pressure required to push the water through the filter is huge

Katadyn

and

PUR which appears to use the Katadyn filters anyway.

You could buy a battery powered one, and use your solar set up and battery bank to get the job done.
