Abstract

Some areas in Indonesia have a low air temperatures, so the need for warm water is quite high, especially for bathing purposes at home, public facilities and hotels. Conventional water heaters generally use electricity or fossil fuels that are exspensive and less environmentally  friendly, as a sustainable solution solar energy offer a more efficient alternative. The research designs and tests a solar water heating system using polycarbonate collectors that are lightweight, strong, easily available, affordable and effective at absorbing heat. The metode used includes survey, design, installation and evaluation of system performance. The test results show that the system is functioning but not optimal with a discharge of 2 liter and a maximum temperature of 63°C at 11.00-13.00 WIB at optimal sunlight intensity, these findings support the use of solar energy as a efficient renewable energy solution for water heating systems.
