1. Introduction:
The conventional sources of energy are finite in nature and pose severe threats to man's environment.
The industrial and economic development which have been made possible through the harnessing of conventional energy technologies have brought about significant environmental degradation and climate change with severe impact on human and aquatic life.[1]The research is focused on enhancing the heat energy of water by utilizing more useable energy from sun through solar water heating system.
SWH system having a capacity of 50 liters was designed and developed and its performance evaluation was carried out. A solar heating system including an energy concentrated collectors for receiving solar heat, an inlet pipe for distributing water in the collector storage vessel, a drain pipe for removing water from the storage vessel and a fiber sheet containing an array of converging lenses oriented to received radiant energy and to direct the energy onto the storage vessel. The array of converging lenses comprises a matrix of double convex lenses. There are six arrays and each array contains seventeen (17) lenses. Fiber sheet containing one hundred and two (102) lenses was placed over the storage vessel. No. of experiments have been performed and results of solar water heating system have been discussed in this paper.
Research is beneficial as:
Solar geysers utilize solar power to not only heat water but to store its energy.
Easy installation in factory, home and hostels etc.
No Harms, No Pollution, save and clean.
Investment once and benefit forever.
It is 60% more efficient in frost prone areas.
Causing lowest green house emissions.
Solar Geyser provides hot water for Domestic
& commercial use.
Naturally frost protected - perfect for cold climates.
Solar Geyser can be operated efficiently and affordably in any climate. Systems are specifically designed for various climatic and geographical areas of Pakistan.
By using Solar Geyser the demand will be reduced for fossil fuels, which will improve the environment by reducing air pollution as well as the heat-trapping gases that cause global warming.[3]
2. Literature Survey:
Solar water heaters can provide half or more of the hot water needs in the average home, Simple or complex, solar water heater systems save money.
Solar water heaters can be as simple as a garden hose left in the sun or as complex as multiple glass-plated solar collectors filled with propylene glycol. Simple or complex, solar water heaters are an economical option for home and business owners wishing to reduce their water heating costs. Three types of solar collectors are used for residential applications:

Abstract: Fossil fuels are the main sources that are being used to produce energy today in Pakistan. They are not only being depleted, but also polluting the environment, and affecting our economical stability. As oil prices continue to escalate to levels that threaten our economy, alternative energy sources are starting to play an important role in our society. Out of the available alternative energy resources, solar energy has emerged as one of the most powerful ,clean, safe and virtually inexhaustible source of energy, world can depend on it, in the years to come. Pakistan has a very good overall solar-energy potential. The average daily isolation rate
