        abstract = {This study investigates the thermal performance of a Compound Parabolic Trough Collector (CPTC) designed for domestic water heating applications. The CPTC system was experimentally evaluated and compared with conventional flat plate and V-trough collectors under similar environmental conditions. Results indicate that the CPTC achieved a thermal efficiency of up to 68%, outperforming the flat plate and V-trough collectors, which exhibited efficiencies of 47% and 56%, respectively. The study underscores the CPTC's potential as an efficient and cost-effective solution for residential water heating needs.},
