“…SWHS is evolving so rapidly that 30% of families had installed this technology by 2015. This technology has gained research attraction as well [64][65][66][67][68]. A design parameter optimization for a thermosiphon SWHS in two cities of Amman and Aqaba with mild and hot climates has been performed to augment the annual solar fraction [64].…”

Currently, the economy of Middle Eastern countries relies heavily on fossil fuel sources. The direct and indirect adverse consequences of fossil fuel utilization for power generation enforce the region’s countries to raise the share of renewable energy. In this context, various incentive policies have been developed to encourage the residential and industrial sectors to support a portion of energy needs through renewable energy resources. In this case, a solar water heating system (SWHS) as an application of solar thermal technology provides some of the heat energy requirements for domestic hot water (DHW) and space heating, supported conventionally by electricity or natural gas, or even other fossil fuels. This paper reviews the feasibility of the SWHS in the Middle East region from technical and economical standpoints and investigates some of the progress, challenges, and barriers toward this market. The pay-back times and CO2 emission reduction under different incentive frameworks and configurations of each system have been assessed in this context. Furthermore, the advantages and weaknesses of the SWHS in several countries have been reported. Finally, various guidelines have been proposed to enhance the development of this technology.

“…A study in Jordan looked at the techno-economic feasibility of a SWH system with a built-in electric coil as an auxiliary heater compared to a gas geyser system [39]. The author found that the SWH with the integrated auxiliary heater was more economic due to the longer operational life expectancy and the number of days where the use of the electric coil is not required.…”

Thermal Performance through Heat Retention in Integrated Collector-Storage Solar Water Heaters: A Review

et al. 2018

Solar thermal systems are a long-standing technology that is receiving increased attention, in terms of research and development, due to ambitious climate change targets and the need for renewable energy solutions. Integrated collector-storage solar water heaters (ICSSWHs) are a potential contributing solution and numerous studies have focussed on the optimisation of their thermal performance and efficiency. A major drawback of these systems is the heavy heat losses experienced during non-collection periods. To combat this, various heat retention strategies have been proposed and evaluated, including baffles plates, additional insulation, multiple glazing layers, selective coatings, and phase change materials. This paper aims to bring together these studies through a systematic review of the existing literature surrounding the performance of ICSSWH systems, focusing on heat retention. This review provides a comprehensive and up-to-date point of reference on relevant research and developments for researchers in this field.

“…The collection of solar thermal energy and ability to cope with the load should be considered during the evaluation process. Based on the test results and related references [13,16,17,27,[40][41][42], the solar energy fraction, efficiency of the solar collecting system, and heat loss coefficient of the storage tank were selected to evaluate the thermal performance of the solar collecting system. The solar energy fraction is also related to the total energy consumption.…”

More than 581 solar thermal systems (STSs), 98 counties, and 47 renewable application demonstration cites in China need to be inspected by the end of 2015. In this study, the baseline for performance and economic evaluation of STSs are presented based on the site test data and related references. An index used to evaluate STSs was selected, and methods to acquire the parameters used to calculate the related index were set. The requirements for sensors for testing were specified. The evaluation method was applied to three systems and the result shows that the evaluation method is suitable for the evaluation of STSs in China.
