Abstract

Given the limited and low cost of conventional energy and the resulting pollution and damage to the environment and the future of future generations, current research has tended to be increasingly interested in the search for other types of clean, renewable, and sundrenched energy, in which case the Sun is the main source of many energy sources in nature, and some people even launch the slogan "Sun or energies", and it is considered a clean and renewable energy as long as the Sun exists and has been used for thousands of years in hot areas, as itwasused in Heating water and drying some agricultural crops to protect them from damage, whileresearch and experiments are being made to try to exploit the Sun'senergy in producing electricity and Heating ... Etc

   The Tunisian Government's interest in exploiting renewable energy potential for manyyears has increased considerably, and initiatives have been launched to support the solar water Heating policy, which is suitable for the hot and sunny climate of Tunisia, with the adoption of important promotional and financing policies, as well as the role of the private sector, which has played an important role.

The study aims to learn about Tunisia’s solar experience as an alternative to coal, gas, and oil in Heating water to the needs of both the residential, service and industrial sector, which we are a successful and well-studied experiment
