2.5 kW of solar energy comes on top of the solar panel placed on the roof of a house. 25% of this incoming energy is lost to the environment, and the remaining energy is used to increase the temperature of the water passing through the solar panel from 30 oC to 60 oC. Determine how many liters of water per hour should pass through the solar panel in order to achieve the desired increase in water temperature under continuous operating conditions. You can get the density of the water as 1000 kg / m3. Also, neglect the pressure loss, kinetic and potential energy changes of the water flowing through the solar panel.,
