  ABSTRACT: An analysis is conducted on eleven governorates in Oman to assess the environmental and financial advantages of implementing a solar hot water system. The conservation of natural gas is measured by comparing it to the absorption of solar energy on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. The study considers the monetary value of natural gas and the duration required to recover the initial investment in order to evaluate the environmental and economic benefits. Muscat realises its maximum capabilities. The examined solution enables annual savings of up to 106.03 USD and 927.01 kilogrammes ofCO2 in Muscat, and a minimum of 74.74 USD and 653.48 kilogrammes of CO2 in Dhofar.
