Efficiency of using a solar air heating collector in a continental climate

\nThis article presents a comprehensive technical and economic analysis of the implementation of solar air collectors (SAC) in the Fergana region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Characterized by a continental climate, the Fergana region enjoys a remarkable abundance of solar resources, with sunshine durations reaching between 2900 to 3100 hours annually. The text delves into the region’s climatic conditions, focusing on key metrics such as average annual temperature, total solar radiation, and the extent of sunshine hours. By assessing the operational efficiency of SAC under varying climatic circumstances specific to areas like Fergana, Kokand, and Shakhimardan, the study provides valuable insights into the potential of solar energy solutions. This research represents a significant advancement in promoting renewable energy sources in the region, highlighting their importance as a means to reduce reliance on traditional energy systems and to enhance environmental sustainability. The article aims to encourage stakeholders to adopt solar technologies, fostering a transition toward a greener, energy-independent Uzbekistan.\n
