Subject: free distilled water?

Ive been using distilled water for my plants. Buying it is getting
expensive. I have a germination tray about 2 to 3 inches deep. If I
fill this tray with tap water, put the clear plastic lid on it, and
set it out in the sun, won't the water that collects on the lid from
evaporation of the water in the tray be distilled water free from the
salts and minerals, etc., of tap water? If this water is pure, as I
would think it would be, then i can take the lid off and collect the
water on it in cups. Is this pure water that I would be collecting?
