In the present paper, the advantages of using electrodeposited chrome selective surfaces, or other selective paints that are widely used today in the solar water heater industry, are examined. The performances of the solar water heaters are evaluated by the f-chart method (Beckman et al., Solar Heating Design by the f-chart Method (1977), Ref. [1]). The cost of each type of solar heater is calculated, and the optimal coating is determined by the Chang method. The results have shown that the use of chrome selective coatings is economically sound only for the northern regions of Greece. Consequently, the viability of a selective surface industry will depend mainly on it's exports to northern Europe countries.
