Kalimantan Barat dilalui Garis Khatulistiwa dimana surya menyinari selama 10-15 jam/hari. Energi surya diserap langsung oleh sistem pemanas surya. Energi panas yang dihasilkan dapat digunakan sebagai sumber panas dalam menghasilkan bahan bakar terbarukan misalnya bioetanol dan biodiesel. Implementasi untuk gagasan di atas dapat berupa teknologi pemanas surya yang sederhana, tanpa memerlukan energi listrik, biaya operasi murah dan ramah lingkungan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merancang dan menguji pemanas air surya. Pemanas surya dirancang bertipe datar dengan media pemanas berupa air. Pemanas surya terdiri dari kolektor panas dan tangki penampung air yang terbuat dari bahan stainlees steel dan polistiren sebagai isolator. Hasil rancang diperoleh pemanas air surya berkapasitas 50 liter yang diuji selama 3 hari dan mampu menghasilkan temperatur air maksimal sebesar 53oC pada intensitas cahaya rata-rata sebesar 1426 lux.
Integration of solar water heating system and biodiesel unit process has resulted a prototype called Mini Biodiesel Plant. The key of that unit is the effectiveness of heat transfer that occured in the solar collector. The purpose of this research is to analyze the performance of the collector from the solar water heating system. The solar collector used is a flat plate type with a surface area of 0.7m2. It consists of a glass cover, alummunium absorber, styrofoam insulator and woof frame. Based on the research result for 5 times for 5 hours each day, the highest of intensity of solar radiation (I) was 859 W/m2 can produce maximum hot water (Ta) of 62oC. The average of real heat has been absorbes by teh collector (Qu) was 271 Watt while the maximum of heat loss (Qloss) was 144.6 Watt therefore the average of collector efficiency (ƞ) was 45.1%.
