Understanding Your Hot Water Needs
Before determining the size of the solar water heater you require, it’s essential to understand your hot water usage patterns. Factors such as the number of people in your household, the frequency of hot water usage, and the specific applications (e.g., bathing, cooking, laundry) play a crucial role in determining the required capacity.
Calculating the Required Capacity
The general rule of thumb is 50 ltrs per person and that basis following is the recomanded capacity.
100 ltrs suitable for 2 to 3 member family, 150 ltrs suitable for 3 to 4 member family, 200 ltrs suitable for 4 to 5 member family, 250 ltrs suitable for 5 to 6 member family, 300 ltrs suitable for 6 to 7 member family, 500 ltrs suitable for 12 to 13 member family.
If more than 2 floor house add 50ltrs per floor. for example if your house is 3 floor and 2 to 3 members usage, then you reuire 100 + 50 ltrs = 150 ltrs solar water heater.

Efficiency and Climate Considerations
In addition to the size of the solar water heater, factors such as the efficiency of the system and your geographical location also play a significant role in determining the system’s performance.
