Removing reliance on non-renewable energy sources through solar water heaters is a promising and cost-effective approach to mitigate the impact of over-reliance on dirty energy sources. The growing concern about global warming and scarcity of fossil fuels has directed the world towards sustainable technologies. Solar water heaters, a type of solar thermal energy, use solar radiation to heat water for various purposes including domestic use. This renewable energy is considered an attractive solution for global energy challenges as it requires low operational costs, can provide steam during on-site generation, and can be easily scaled up or down in terms of power and capacity. A well-designed thermal energy system consists of a heat exchanger a storage tank a circulating pump and a storage tank. The heat exchanger is the key component of the system, absorbing and converting sunlight into energy. The solar water heater works in two stages: the thermal phase and the rejection phase. During the thermal phase, the heat exchanger heats the fluid in the circulating pump, and in the rejection phase, the hot water is pumped into the industrial facility for actual use. Conventional absorption heat pump water heaters also improve performance by using a second higher temperature fluid to heat the system whenever possible. Implementing massive <a href="https://onewave.com.my/onewave-solar-water-heater">solar water heater</a> installations can significantly reduce the electricity consumption. Studies have shown that, for every 1.2 MW of solar water heater capacity installed, the demand for utility electricity from energy providers is decreased by at least 0.5-1.1 MW. In emerging markets, such sustainable solutions can save households a significant amount of money on their electricity expenses. It is estimated that global implementation of solar water heaters could reduce electricity demand by 11-21% by 2030, saving over $1.1 trillion in energy expenses. With such truly beneficial results associated with solar water heaters, regulators worldwide should prioritize and invest significantly in developing solar water heater technologies, providing incentives for deployment and large-scale deployments. However, current industries are lacking the competitive pace on solar thermal technologies, driven primarily by the development and advertising of sustainable solutions. Authorities must therefore provide prompt attention and incentives to energy-efficient technologies, besides focusing on reducing regulatory barriers for entrepreneurs to step into the commercial energy markets. Increasing the demand for solar water heaters will also heighten career advancement worldwide, and reduce salaries in renewable energy industries while increasing financial performance among the companies in this area. So the introduction of solar water heater technologies will undoubtedly prove instrumental for saving global electric power demand and making a significant difference in solving one of our most enduring environmental problems.
