Pre-assessment of Middle East countries in the field of using solar water heaters in building façades.

The use of solar water heaters (SWHs) in building facades in the Middle East region can significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. It can also reduce residents' electricity bills and provide a reliable source of hot water. Based on conducted studies, for the first time, the dynamic technical-energy-economic-environmental analysis of SWHs has been carried out in 17 countries in the Middle East region using TSOL PROS software. The use of accurate calculation of space heating requirements, among other differentiations from previous work, ensures that the results of this study are highly reliable and realistic. According to the results, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have been identified as the most suitable countries because they have a higher percentage of heat supplied by solar energy. Turkey, Iran, and Jordan are considered less suitable countries. The average heat supply provided by SWHs in this region is 65.3%, which prevents the emission of more than 23 tons/year of CO2 pollutants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
