Hybrid Solar Water Heater

Abstract

Our lab work for the Hybrid Solar Water Heater has been developed to utilize new, green-thinking ways to generate hot water for residential and commercial buildings.  Due to the increase in electricity prices, alternative solutions are necessary in order to save money and energy.  In our case, the sun is a free, natural resource that can be used as fuel to create active solar thermal energy.  This newly created energy can be harnessed and pumped into a water heater to produce hot water.
