| dc.description.sponsorship | Solar energy is getting popular nowadays. Most of the technologies have been developed which
made solar energy a cheaper and reliable source of energy. Due to pollution and other factors, solar
has become the most popular source of energy. Along with power generation, now water heaters
are also developed which are working on solar technology. It is a reliable method and can be used
in areas which do not have access to wood, coal, and gas. This project is based on fabrication and
performance test of a flat plate collector passive solar water heater. In this project, passive water
heaters are employed which work in thermosiphon system. To construct the solar water heater has
been used the flat plate collector as a solar collector. Flat plate collectors are constructed according
to needs and environmental constraints. Based upon this study, a reliable and cost-effective solar
water heater was constructed. All the dimensions and diagrams are presented in the relevant
chapter. Local materials and manufacturing methods were used to fabricate the solar water heater
to limit the cost of the project. At the end the impact of the project was discussed on social,
economic, and environmental grounds. From our experiment we find out that we can get most
output heat between 1pm to 2pm | en_US |
