dc.description.abstract	A solar water heater was designed and constructed using locally available materials. The components of the system are flat plate collector and storage tank. A method of estimating the performance of solar water heater circulating to a storage tank by thermosyphon is presented. Ideal condition of no draw off during the day and clear sunshine are assumed. An experimental study performed on the system shows that the system perform well with approximately 50.1% collector efficiency using Hottel - whiller equation (ASHARE 93-97 standard test method) and producing hot water at average temperature of 550C. The results were compared with those estimated from theoretical method. The results show very good agreement.	en_US
