| dc.description.abstract | This project introduces a solar water heating system defined as a sustainable solution that leverages
solar energy for efficient water heating, minimizing dependence on conventional power sources. The
system operates by capturing solar energy through a photovoltaic panel, which is then stored in a battery
to ensure continuous energy supply regardless of sunlight variability. An inverter circuit converts the
stored DC energy into the appropriate AC voltage and current needed to operate the system. This
electrical energy is directed to a burner coil submerged in a water tank, where the coil functions as the
main heating element. The heating process can be analyzed in terms of energy transfer, where electrical
energy E = V×I×T (with V as voltage, I as current, and T as time) is converted into thermal energy Q =
mcΔT (where m is the water mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change).
This integration enables efficient thermal conversion and storage, offering advantages such as reduced
carbon emissions, lower energy bills, and enhanced energy independence. The model highlights the
practical application of renewable energy in everyday use, making it suitable for residential and small
scale commercial implementation. | en_US |
