We see objects as black because they do not reflect any of the wavelengths of light that shine on them. A matte surface is matte precisely because it isn't shiny - in other words, because it doesn't reflect the light very well. Matte black is least prone to reflect energy and best at absorbing it. In the case of hot water panels, it is the solar energy that is absorbed that heats the water so the more efficient the panels are at absorbing it, the better it does at heating up the water.

2 wire (plus ground) is all you need for a 240 volt heater provided there is no 120 volt accessories in the heater such as a built in convenience receptacle. If cable is used, the white wire of the 2 wire cable will be a HOT-LEG even though it is white-this is one of the code exceptions. The size of the guage is dependent on the size of the load and other factors. 12 guage will handle up to 1500 watts generally.
Why pipe of solar heater and container of solar cooker are painted black?
The color black absorbs more heat from light.
Why are the pipes of solar heater and the containers of solar cooker painted black?
The pipes of solar heaters and the containers of solar cookers are painted black because black surfaces absorb more sunlight and convert it into heat more efficiently than lighter colors. This maximizes the absorption of solar energy, enhancing the overall effectiveness of these devices in capturing and retaining heat. The increased heat absorption helps to raise the temperature of the water or food being heated, making the systems more efficient in their energy use.
