A solar water heater is a device that utilizes solar energy to heat water using sunlight as a renewable energy source. It typically consists of solar thermal collectors, commonly mounted on a rooftop and a storage tank. These collectors absorb sunlight and convert it into heat, transferring this thermal energy to a fluid (such as water or antifreeze) circulating through the collectors. As the fluid absorbs heat, it is then pumped or transferred to a storage tank, where it heats the water used for domestic purposes, like bathing or household chores. Solar water heaters can be active systems, using pumps to circulate the heated fluid, or passive systems relying on natural convection to move the heated water. They offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to generate hot water by utilizing renewable solar energy, reducing energy bills and decreasing reliance on conventional water heating methods powered by electricity or gas.

BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) Registration according to IS 12933 (Part 1, 2, 3 and 5), IS 16368, IS 16544 and IS 16543 is crucial for solar water heaters due to its validation of adherence to stringent energy efficiency standards. This certification confirms that these heaters meet defined benchmarks for efficiently utilizing solar energy to heat water, ensuring reduced energy consumption and heightened efficiency. BEE Registration fosters consumer confidence by signifying compliance with national energy efficiency norms, aiding informed decisions when selecting solar water heaters and highlighting their energy-saving capabilities. Moreover, energy-efficient heaters, certified through these standards, lead to reduced energy bills for users, align with eco-friendly practices by curbing energy consumption and potentially qualify consumers or manufacturers for governmental incentives, encouraging the widespread adoption of sustainable solar heating technology.
