Abstract: One of the promising source of renewable energy is solar energy. Water heating by solar energy for domestic use is one of the most successful and feasible applications of solar energy. Other areas of application of solar energy include solar drying, electricity generation using photovoltaic cells, solar cooling and refrigeration, solar still (or solar distillation) and solar cooking. In this study flat plate solar collector was simulated, a temperature of 58^o C and an efficiency of 51% was achieved respectively. Solar radiation being abundantly present in Nigeria is one area of focus among the renewable energy resources and this can be harnessed for heating water for both domestic and industrial purposes.
