Abstract
As a consequence of energy crisis and pollution around the globe, many countries are shifting towards the renewable energy resources which are environmental friendly too i. e., solar energy. The aim of this research work is to design a solar powered geyser that can be used for domestic as well as for industrial purposes. The analytical model is constructed to understand the behavior of water temperature with respect to time and to the energy that can be generated from solar panel with and without glass glazing. The extensive experimentation was carried out at self designed test rig in Islamabad, Pakistan for six months i. e., August 2017-January 2018. The response of the power output to the time in specific month and its efficiency is predicted and optimized. Moreover, electrical backup was integrated in closed loop feedback circuit to achieve maximum efficiency even in dark cloudy weather or a sunny day. Moreover, it is calculated that how much external power is required by the system in order to perform the task at different time intervals of the day. Analytical results were in good agreement with experimental results, with error of 9%.
