As the world's population continues to grow and energy consumption rises, so as well 
will the amount of energy produced, the amount of energy that is lost to waste, and the 
amount of pollution and emissions. Heat pipes and solar technology system are 
extremely flexible technologies in terms of their ability to effectively control 
temperature. This study presents a review on the use of heat pipe, heat exchangers and 
solar technology system for heating and cooling households. Heat pipes can be easily 
accomplished as thermal links and heat exchangers in water heating systems to make 
sure the energy saving and environmental protection.
The study involves the design and analysis of a solar technology system to be used for 
domestic purposes. The design and construction of a heat pipe solar water heater and 
solar PV system has been realized based on the needed of a selected house, which is 
properly insulated to reduce the said loads. Water, as the most common heat pipe 
working fluid, has been preferred and has an operating temperature range from 20°C 
to 280°C. It has been shown that up to an extra 50% efficiency can be reached through 
the use of heat pipe, substantially reducing the cooling and heating bills of an ordinary 
building having about 200m2
closed space area using PV panels. It can be said that the 
additional cost of adding heat pipe and solar technology system will have a short 
payback period.
