GeorgeD1:
all,
as promised a few days back, here are pictures from my recent solar water heater installation.
apologies for the undue delay. i've been quite busy of late and also the system has been undergoing
rigorous stress tests to determine its viability under real world conditions.

so first of all the frame which holds the water heater tank and evacuated glass tubes in place.
we coupled this together before any thing else.

Oga George, i see u... Infact tiri gbosa 4u

GeorgeD1:


efuro,

on the contrary, solar water heating is not a luxury as you seem to suggest but a necessity.
wait until you see the economics side of this as compared to the regular electric water heater
and you'll be in haste to edit your comment above.

as for 'mama put' using firewood to heat water to make garri and akpu, you and i know that
such is neither a sustainable practice nor is it environmentally acceptable in this day and age.
when we talk of renewable energy, burning of fossil fuels and other forms of earth polluting
substances cannot be a source of comparison - no matter how cheap they appear to be in
the short term.

noted with thanks Oga D1.
i admire u!

congrates georged1 . may the water never run cold. in Jesus name.. amen.. now that is out of the way, my bro how much be cost implication.

samnaija,

i say a big amen with you on that. cost implication is surprisingly similar to the traditional
money guzzling electric water heater. compilation still underway. please be patient.

Is there a sloar electric cooker, tire of buying Gas and kerosine

dicksonadams,

actually there are many varieties of solar electric cookers now in the market.
but just like solar water heaters, lack of awareness (ignorance?) has prevented people
from adopting them in favour of traditional electric or gas stoves.
a few of them (like the sunfocus) are hybrids, meaning they can be used even
when the sun goes down.

check the links below for example:

http://www.greenprophet.com/2014/02/hybrid-solar-electric-oven-cooks-whether-there-is-sun-or-not/
https://www.gosunstove.com/
http://www.solarslowcooker.org/

when you think of it, the power of the sun transcends a wide variety of energy applications
including cooling, heating and electricity generation. however we have mostly
limited ourselves to solar pv in this part of the world which in my opinion is like
living in the stone age when you're surrounded by ipads, tablets and computers.

let's go beyond solar pv and explore the sun a little bit further.
and the cost is not really as steep as some of us imagine it to be.
break the myth, you know you can!

@GeorgeD1

Efuro, howdy ?

He is right, it should face up, about 6 degree tilt facing south cos we are latitude 6 degrees. this is close to being horizontal, just a little tilt towards south.
