when assessing a home's suitability for solar water heater installation, many factors need to be considered. these factors include the amount of sunlight the house receives the house receives, the size and orientation of the roof, and the local building codes and regulations.
first and foremost, the home's roof should be south-facing towards the south, ideally between east-west meridian and southernmost and westernmost to northernmost to capture the most sunlight. the roof also needs to be mostly clear of hindrances, such as nearby trees or other houses, to ensure maximum sunlight exposure. the roof's materials and conditions should also be taken into account, as a roof with an reduced sunlight absorption material or other shade-inducing material that hits the roof face should be avoided.
another crucial factor is the size of the roof, as a larger roof size increases the possible surface area for installing solar water heating systems.
