Includes bibliographical references (leaves 58-63). Solar energy is abundantly available in South Africa, but it is a highly under-utilised resource. One way of efficiently using the resource is solar water heating (swh), a natural process whereby hot water for domestic and/or industrial use is heated by the sun. In 2009, a national swh strategy was drafted by the Department of Energy, which specifies a target to install 1 million heaters in households by 2015. Provincial and local governments have also developed their own swh strategies and the roll out of swhs has started in some municipalities (i.e. the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and the City of Cape Town). 2015-01-15T18:30:17Z 2015-01-15T18:30:17Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12232 eng application/pdf Energy Research Centre Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
