Thermal analysis of compact solar water heater under local climatic conditions. Theoretical model the compact solar water heater consists of a galvanized steel tank. Perature for the given local climatic conditions and collector charac teristics. Integrated collector storage solar water heaters icsswh converts the solar radiation directly into heat at an appreciable conversion rate and in many cases using concentrating means. Through this study the factors that affect the performance of solar water heating system and thermal insulation capacity are analysed and the best design of the modified roof system is identified.

The thermal performance of the systemwill be optimized for singleanddoubleglazingwithstoragetankdepthsof5 10 and15 cm. The direct conversion of solar to thermal energy is highly efficient more environmental friendly and economically viable. The input climatic variables are hourly values of solar radiation and ambient temperature for a typical day of toronto.
