Design and construct multiple linear facets integrated collector storage solar water heater (ICSSWH)

Solar energy is a free, clean and safe form of energy source which can be obtained repetitively and persistently from the natural environment. The solar energy can be harvested and converted into thermal energy by solar water heater for domestic usage. Solar water heater is a well-established techno...
