  Introduction: What is a Solar Water Heating System? A solar water heating system is an innovative and eco-friendly technology designed to harness the sun’s energy to heat water for residential or commercial use. By converting sunlight into thermal energy, these systems provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for meeting hot water needs. How Solar Water Heating Systems Work Solar water heating systems operate using solar collectors and a storage tank. Solar collectors, usually mounted on rooftops, capture sunlight and convert it into heat. This heat is then transferred to a fluid (usually water or antifreeze) that circulates through pipes to a storage tank, where the heated water is stored for later use. Types of Solar Water Heating Systems Flat-Plate Collectors: These are the most common type of solar collectors. They consist of a flat, insulated panel with a dark surface that absorbs sunlight. Heat is transferred to the water via pipes running through the panel. Evacu...
