Abstract
The use of solar collectors for water heating is increasing all around the world. Because it is a simpler and cheaper technology, it has been seen as one of the solutions for sustainable development goals and saving energy for the population, as it has been occurring in housing developments. The purpose of the present work is the construction of a low cost solar collector for low-income families, the analysis of thermal efficiency and the use of an electronic system developed from the Open Hardware Arduino MEGA ATmega2560 microcontroller for the collection and storage of data. Partial results indicated a solar collector efficiency of approximately 50%.
