solar water heating system

The article presents the results of an applied study aimed at creating a fairly simple, inexpensive and at the same time effective domestic solar water heating unit (SWHU) with the concentration of solar energy. A feature of such a SWHU is its relatively small dimensions and the possibility of installation in accessible conditions: on the walls, roofs or balconies of both individual houses and apartment buildings.

Solar hot water supply systems can provide a significant part of the thermal energy needed in the residential sector. The use of solar hot water supply systems can reduce the consumption of traditional energy sources and, consequently, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this article is to assess the operation of the solar heating system operation to provide the needs of the hot water supply system of a residential building with thermal energy.
