Research and Development of a Polycarbonate Solar Water Heater

Abstract

Solar power is growing rapidly as a global source of renewable energy. However, commercial solar panels are still quite expensive. The goal of this project was to design an efficient, inexpensive, and durable solar panel. These panels would reduce the installation costs for homeowners due to low-cost materials, leading to more systems being installed. By making renewable energies more economically viable to the average consumer, reliance on non-renewable energy sources will be reduced.
