【 摘 要 】

Indonesia has a strong commitment on reduction its Green House Gases (GHGs) emission. The energy sector (all the activities that burn fossil fuel) contributes significant amount of GHGs emission. In order to meet the target of emission reduction in the energy sector the use of renewable energy resource such as solar energy is being enhanced. One of the potential applications is solar water heater. Since the last several years, our research group is developing solar water heater that suit for Indonesian climate. The objective of this paper is to examine the present condition of our achievement in developing the solar water heater. Literature reviews are presented, experimental and numerical results and challenges are discussed, and future works are suggested.
