Summary, etc. The present study was undertaken to desi~n and develop a collector-cum-storage <br/>type solar water heater of 30 litre capacity to supply hot water for domestic use. <br/>Five solar water heaters with different absorber plate positions were constructed. <br/>The storage tanks with dimensions of 67 xIl7 x 10 cm were made by using fibre glass, <br/>and the top of these storage tanks were covered using single plain glass plates of 71 x 51 <br/>x 0.4 cm size. The position of the absorber plate was varied by changing the width of the <br/>spacers (4 nos. at an angle of 400 with the side aluminium sheet), which connects bottom <br/>aluminium plate and top absorber plate. The absorber plate was of 65 x 45 cm size. The <br/>top face of the absorber plate was painted black to absorb maximum solar. radiation. The <br/>absorber plate positions were lcm, 3cm, 5cm, 7cm and 9cm from the top glass cover <br/>plate and were designated as SWHl 0, SWH30, SWH5.0, SWH7.0 and SWH9.0 respectively. <br/>The absorber plate position was optimized by testing the solar water heaters <br/>under two different test conditions. Solar water heater II (SWH3.0) outperforms other <br/>solar water heaters under the two test conditions. Maximum outlet temperature of 64°C <br/>af 3pm and maximum efficiency of 55.72% also at 3pm were observed in solar water <br/>heater 11. So it is optimized that the position of the absorber plate should be at 3cm from <br/>. the top glass plate. The solar warer heater can easily be handled by a single person since <br/>the weight is only 9.5kg. The operating cost per unit of thermal energy obtained withthe <br/>solar water heater was found to be 25 paise per kWh. <br/><br/>
