Low cost solar hot water system

Abstract

Solar Hot Water systems are extensively used in some of the more developed countries in the world. They have been subject to much research and are now extremely efficient units. With all of these improvements the cost has escalated to result in units which cannot be afforded in the lesser developed countries. It was because of the high cost that we in Central Philippine University decided to develop a low cost unit, which although not so efficient would be affordable and simple to construct. It should also be designed in a way that it could be used for educational purposes.
