I want to construct home made solar water heater.This will help reduce cutting of trees for fire wood to heat water for domestic use.

The solar water heater will cost a total of about 90 dollars and when it is ready I will be to sell it at 170 dollars giving a profit of 80 dollars for material and my time.This is very affordable water solar heater compared to a factory one which the cheapest one cost about 800 dollars.My dream is to continue making cheap solar water like this and enable as many people as possible to buy it and save trees and electricity bills.It is also a good idea to advantage of sunshine in Kenya is usually 70% around the idea.I will good to alittle answer to energy problem.
