Abstract:
In an era characterized by mounting environmental concerns and growing demand for
sustainable energy solutions, hybrid solar geyser and stove systems have emerged as
promising innovations. This research employs a sustainable performance framework for
energy management with Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques
comprehensively to evaluate hybrid solar geyser and stove systems within the domestic
building sector focusing on assessing these hybrid solutions. The evaluations have been
carried out across techno-economic and environmental performance for water heating and
cooking. The hardware setup includes the integration of solar panels, storage batteries, and heating elements to harness solar energy for cooking and water heating. The MCDM
techniques provide a robust framework for decision-making by incorporating multiple
criteria such as cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and
user comfort. The analysis spans domestic settings, offering insights into the effectiveness
and viability of these hybrid technologies. The outcomes of the framework analysis
contribute valuable information for stakeholders, policymakers, and businesses seeking to
make informed choices in adopting sustainable solutions. Policy and regulatory
implications are thoroughly examined, providing valuable insights for policymakers and
stakeholders seeking to promote sustainable energy practices. Furthermore, incorporating
the Internet of Things (IoT) system for controlling solar geysers and stove systems through mobile applications presents a promising avenue for enhancing system functionality and user experience.
