Abstract
Nowadays, electricity become very expensive thing in some remote areas. Energy from solar panels give the solution as renewable energy that is environment friendly. West Borneo is located on the equator where the sun shines for almost 10-15 hours/day. Solar water heating system which is includes storage tank and solar collections becomes a cost-effective way to generate the energy. Solar panel heat water is delivered to water in storage tank. Hot water is used as hot fluid in biodiesel jacked reactor. The purposes of this research are to design Solar Water Heating System for Biodiesel Production and measure the rate of heat-transfer water in storage tank. This test has done for 6 days, every day from 8.30 am until 2.30 pm. Storage tank and collection are made from stainless steel and polystyrene a well-insulated. The results show that the heater can be reach at 50ºC for ±2.5 hours and the maximum temperature is 62ºC where the average of light intensity is 1280 lux.
Highlights
Renewable energy of the sun is generated from the nuclear fusion of its hydrogen into helium, with resulting mass depletion rate of approximately 4.7 x 106 tons per second and solar radiation reaches the earth on a continuous basic amount to 120,000 terawatts [1].Solar energy is fast becoming a welcome alternative source and hazard free heat source, especially in the tropics [2].West Borneois in Equator line where the power of sunlight reaches ±1000 W/m2[3]

Solar water heating system for biodiesel production consists of solar collection and storage tank
Summary
Renewable energy of the sun is generated from the nuclear fusion of its hydrogen into helium, with resulting mass depletion rate of approximately 4.7 x 106 tons per second and solar radiation reaches the earth on a continuous basic amount to 120,000 terawatts [1].Solar energy is fast becoming a welcome alternative source and hazard free heat source, especially in the tropics [2].West Borneois in Equator line where the power of sunlight reaches ±1000 W/m2[3]. Solar water heater help to avoid carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxides and the other air pollution and wastes created when the local utility generates power or fuel is burned to heat domestic water. When a solar water heater replaces an electric water heater, the electricity displaced over 20 years represents more than 50 tons of avoided carbon dioxide emissions alone [6]
