Have you done any research? I don't know how they work but the first thing I would do is type "how do solar water heaters work" into Google and see what comes up and then come here if there were sprecific things I didn't understand.

Here's the first hit I got:

What specifically do you want to verify? You seem to be asking for a whole tutorial, which is why I wondered if you had done any research.
