This is the VOA Special English Technology Report.Solar water heaters are used wrong the world,and not very difficult to billed.The system we'll go into describe is based on a design developed some years ago in the **.Since then it has been built and used in many countries.It can heat 70 litres of water to 60 degrees celsius.It can do this between sunrise and noon on the clear day with unaverage air tempreture of 32 degrees celsius.There are 2 parts of the solar water heater.
