Sustainable development objectives place a high priority on entrepreneurship and renewable energy. Supporting entrepreneurial activities in the renewable energy industry can provide economic growth and employment to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030. Solar water heating systems can provide clear benefits for both the environment and economic growth. There is a gap in the literature regarding the study of the factors hindering or driving the development of the solar water heating system industry. This study aims to investigate the solar water heating system industry’s challenges and attempts to define the drivers to further develop the industry. Thus, solar water heating entrepreneurship parameters can be identified. Additionally, energy savings and carbon dioxide emissions were calculated for the region to raise awareness among consumers. This study used the qualitative analysis method through semi-structured interviews with 40 business owners in Adana/Turkey. The findings showed that the industry has administrative, production, political, and economic issues; there is a need for economic support and expanding education and control mechanisms. Also, the payback period is 1.63~3.27 years for a solar water heating system and this system prevents 800.75 kg of CO2 emission. The study has implications for policy-making, practice, scientific research, and the SDGs Agenda 2030.

“…Karachi has an estimated population of 16.459 million and combined, these five cities have around 33.981 million inhabitants. Thus, the macro projection (Tariq et al, 2021b) of this case study can bring useful energy benefits, and consequently, it would participate in the social welfare of these inhabitants.…”

This research targets to present a case study on the annual comparative assessment of photovoltaic thermal collectors (PV/T) by using water and Ag/water nanofluid for five different cities in Pakistan. The assessment is conducted at monthly, daily, and hourly resolutions. PV/T collector is imitated through a set of energy balance based physical models which are solved numerically for two working fluids (i.e. water and Ag/water nanofluid) in a yearly simulation format (with hourly, daily, and monthly predictions) for five major cities of Pakistan (Taxila, Peshawar, Multan, Lahore, and Karachi). Detailed comparative assessment is carried out based on the performance indicators such as electrical efficiency, thermal efficiency, heat gain, and net electricity power generation. In the results section, hourly, daily, and monthly patterns of performance indicators using water and Ag/water nanofluid are reported, followed by a comparative study between the different cities having different climatic conditions. The sensitivity of nanofluid's mass flow rate and its particle concentration on the performance indicators is also reported, and the analysis of the sensitivity of the nanofluid characteristics on the pumping and the net useful power is also presented. Assessment has indicated that the overall efficiency for Taxila, Peshawar, Multan, Lahore, and Karachi cities are similar and around 66% despite having different latitude and longitudinal locations. While using silver nanofluid as a working fluid, compared to the usage of pure water as a working fluid, overall lesser efficiency is seen at around 63.80%, for selected cities.
