Abstract
The electrical consumption has been rapidly increased in the past few decades. However, environment concern and depleting of fossil fuel lead to raise of alternative energy. One of the applications for solar energy that has gain significant attention is solar thermal for watering heating that can replace electricity. This paper aims to presents feasibility on solar water heating for residential building in Thailand. The analysis has been done on both energy performance and economic perspective using RETscreen software and Bangkok, Thailand as case study location in order to verify the feasibility of solar water heating application in residential building. The result has shown the potential of solar water heating system application in residential building as a replacement to conventional electrical water heating.
