Innovative Approaches in Renewable Energy
A pressing need for the depletion of non-renewable energy sources has sparked a trend in the adoption of sustainably sourced energy sources. In this regard, the sun as a heat source has emerged as a lucrative option for heating water. Solar water heaters (SWHs) have gained immense popularity in recent years, thanks to their eco-friendly nature and low operational costs. However conventional water heater designs, challenges have hindered their widespread adoption, such as expensive installation costs, complex designs, and limited efficiency. In response to these challenges, innovative approaches in solar water heater system design have attracted growing interest, aiming to improve their efficiency, affordability, and sustainability.
One such innovative approach is the development of hybrid solar water heaters which alternative energy supplies.
