The zigzag copper tube in a solar water heater is painted black to enhance its ability to absorb solar radiation. Black surfaces are more efficient at absorbing heat compared to lighter colors, which reflect sunlight. This maximizes the heat transfer from the sun to the water flowing through the tube, improving the overall efficiency of the solar water heating system.
