Abstract: 
This research shows the comparative analysis between the solar heater and the heat exchanger efficiency. This is used for water heating in this project to show the use of this for residential purposes. The efficiency of these two is calculated in this project which helps to know the efficiency of each model in the water heating purpose. In this research process, a suitable set of comparisons has been drawn between the heat exchanger and water heater that have been worked on based on the effective solar energy. Effective energy usage provides a suitable beneficial impact in Favor of using this residential water heating system of heat exchangers. Detailed information has been represented in the background sections along with rationale aspects where the issues along with their remedies have been depicted.
