Abstract: 
The purpose of this study paper is to examine the potential for increasing the efficiency of solar water heaters by using novel design ideas. A qualitative examination of previously published material is combined with the development of a computer-aided design (CAD) model of a solar water heater using the SolidWorks as part of this research project, which uses a mixed-methods approach. The qualitative study draws attention to the relevance of design factors, materials, and combinations in optimizing the collection and use of energy. The CAD model provides a graphical representation of the suggested design adjustments and demonstrates how the overall performance may be enhanced. The results highlight the significance of inter-disciplinary cooperation, consumer awareness, and legislative assistance in order to encourage the adoption of improved designs for solar water heaters. The paper comes to a close by providing some ideas for testing in the real world, continuing research, and incorporating inventive design into the process of promoting sustainable energy practices.
