Abstract The increase of use of fossil fuels in industrial applications hampers the environmental cycle, hence solar energy is one of the alternate energy source and has been used in various industrial applications due to clean, cheap and easily available almost in all seasons.   Solar energy is one of the form of renewable energy, thus it need various comprehensive system to utilize with fullest capacity. Presently design of effective energy storage system is challenging task.    For typical application of hot water for domestic usage, a solar hot water system is widely used. Intelligent solar tank can be heated both by solar collectors and by means of an auxiliary energy supply system. In this system, when heat gets stored during day time particularly in winter season, it dissipates considerably to the environment in night due inappropriate use of insulating material around the storage tank.  Hence, attempt is made to identify reasons of heat loss and to propose the modifications in the system in order to enhance the performance of solar water system.
