This final paper describes the procedure for selecting and installing a solar system for the preparation of hot water consumption. The idea of this work is to use renewable energy sources for the purpose of obtaining hot water consumption for a family house, replacing alternative heating methods of hot water consumption with a more modern and environmentally friendly heating method. Calculation methods are described that are used before choosing a solar system for the purpose of hot water consumption for a family home, as well as choosing a solar system based on the required amount of hot water and the amount of sunshine in the area of Međimurje. The characteristics of plate and vacuum collectors that collect solar energy were also compared. Based on these data, the most cost-effective and suitable system for heating the hot water consumption of a family of five was selected. After the calculation, the practical part related to the actual installation and assembly of solar vacuum collectors, solar tank and other necessary components on the family house is described. The ways and possibilities of upgrading the heating of the outdoor pool with the help of a solar system are also described.
