Solar Technology
Solar energy is considered an attractive source of renewable energy that can be used for water heating in both homes and industry. Heating water consumes nearly 20% of total energy consumption for an average family . Solar water heating systems are the cheapest and most easily affordable clean energy available to homeowners that may provide most of the hot water required by a family. The solar heater is a device which is used for heating the water, for producing the steam for domestic and industrial purposes by utilizing the solar energy. Solar energy is the energy which is coming from the sun in the form of solar radiations in an infinite amount when these solar radiations fall on the absorbing surface, then they get converted into the heat, this heat is used for heating the water. This type of thermal collector suffers from heat losses due to radiation and convection. Such losses increase rapidly as the temperature of the working fluid increases. Approximately...
