Abstract
Solar radiation it is a clean and renewable energy. It has two main applications: photovoltaic and thermal energy. A prototype of low cost solar heater was made. The results obtained show a good effectiveness, despite its lower efficiency when compared to conventional systems. The lowest investment in installation and construction makes the non-conventional systems appropriated, for people without good financial condition. The average of thermal efficiency obtained was 33%, while the maximum was 42%. The maximum temperature at the outlet solar collector was 49°C.
