In modern times, there is hard need of utilizing non-conventional sources for meeting energy demands. Solar heating power generation is one of the novel concepts which is widely used for power generation. Solar Air Heater (SAH) is a device that generates electricity by using solar energy. The radiation is absorbed by the heat and converted into heat energy on the absorbing surface and is transferred to the liquid flowing through the collector. It has been seen that the solar heat transfer rate is affected by ribs, insulation, glass, fluid channels, heat sink panels and tilt angle. Also, it was revealed through review of literature that heat transfer rate of flow is best estimated by using artificial roughness on the surface. The main aim of the research is to estimate the variation of solar heat transfer rate with respect to change in time and configuration of collector with different roughness geometries of the flat plate solar heating system. Flat heat sink plates and circular heat sink plates were designed to achieve the maximum thermal performance of the solar water heater and then thermally measured, and then examined according to the heat transfer and friction characteristics of the solar wind water heater tube.
