Efficiency enhancement of solar water heaters through innovative design

Abstract

The purpose of this study paper is to examine the potential for increasing the efficiency of solar water heaters by using novel design ideas. A qualitative examination of previously published material is combined with the development of a computer-aided design (CAD) model of a solar water heater using the SolidWorks as part of this research project, which uses a mixed-methods approach. The qualitative study draws attention to the relevance of design factors, materials, and combinations in optimizing the collection and use of energy. The CAD model provides a graphical representation of the suggested design adjustments and demonstrates how the overall performance may be enhanced. The results highlight the significance of inter-disciplinary cooperation, consumer awareness, and legislative assistance in order to encourage the adoption of improved designs for solar water heaters. The paper comes to a close by providing some ideas for testing in the real world, continuing research, and incorporating inventive design into the process of promoting sustainable energy practices.
