After a bibliographical study of comparison, the present study deals with an integrated plane storage collector solar water heater type, tested in the south of Tunisia. Its measured energy performances prove its effectiveness to produce hot water, in spite of its simplicity of manufacture, usage and maintenance. Indeed a temperature of water exceeding 70°C is reached towards the afternoon True Solar Time, and for an efficiency of 70 %. Thus, this type of collector with integrated storage is entirely satisfactory and could be available to larger mass.
