Challenges Facing Solar Hot Water Systems in Sunny Regions
Solar hot water systems (SHWS) are often seen as ideal for regions with abundant sunshine and high temperatures. Places like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with its intense solar radiation and long sunny days, appear to be perfect candidates for widespread solar water heating adoption. However, despite the favourable solar potential, many types of SHWS face a unique set of challenges in such hot climates. Understanding these challenges is key to designing more effective, efficient, and sustainable systems for these regions.
