Abstract

Disclosed herein is a solar panel assembly and method for fabrication of same including cutting away a portion of the rafters and roof sheeting to provide an orifice of suitable dimension within which a solar panel frame is to be disposed, providing a step portion on an upper inner periphery thereof, disposing a frame lower portion upon the step, installing conduits extending through the solar panel frame at upper and lower portions thereof in a substantially horizontal direction, interconnecting these conduits with a tubed collector plate, providing an insulative layer underneath this tubed plate, placing a transparent panel on top of the frame lower portion, and overlying the panel with a frame upper portion which connects the solar panel frame and the frame lower portion by suitable fasteners. Appropriate weather stripping is deployed between the frame upper portion and the solar panel frame, and the open area that exists between the solar panel frame and the roof is provided with a flashing so as to complete the sealing arrangement.

Built-in solar panel

Patent Aloi, M; Hancock, K

Disclosed herein is a solar panel assembly and method for fabrication of same. A portion of the rafters and roof sheeting is cut away to provide an orifice of suitable dimension within which a solar panel frame is to be disposed. A step portion is provided on an upper inner periphery thereof, and a frame lower portion is disposed upon the step. Conduits extend through the solar panel frame at upper and lower portions thereof in a substantially horizontal direction. These conduits are interconnected with a tubed collector plate. An insulative layer is provided underneath this tubed plate. A transparentmore »« less
Solar collector

Patent Wendel, I

A solar collector adapted to be conveniently installed on a roof or similar structure includes a casing having a continuous bottom flange adapted to be secured to the roof and providing flashing for suitable roofing material. A continuous side wall extends upwardly from the flange and a continuous shoulder along the side wall and extends outwardly from a lower portion of the side wall to an upper portion thereof. A solar collector heat pan includes a generally flat heat plate having an upper face carrying typical tubing for a liquid to be heated by solar energy, the pan further havingmore »« less
Modular solar collector panel and manifold therefor

Patent Perez, G

A monolithic manifold unit for use in the formation of a solar energy collector panel is described comprising: (A) an elongated tubular body having a longitudinal axis nad being substantially uniform in its transverse dimension over a major portion of its length, said tubular body having upper and lower portions and including an integral enlarged-diameter bell housing at one end thereof, the inner diameter of said bell housing being substantially equal to the outer diameter of the remainder of said tubular body; (B) a first elongated, transverse projection integrally formed on and extending in a first direction from the outermore »« less
Modular structurally integrated solar panel

Patent Stout, J

An improved solar panel system is provided which is constructed for mounting of solar collector panel modules between conventionally spaced and sloped roof rafters. The solar panel modules include integral gutter portions and integral flashing portions. The solar panel system also includes a system of top and side flashings which complement the integral flashings of the solar panel modules so as to provide a solar panel system integrable with a conventional roof shingle system to provide leak-proof mounting of the solar panel system within the conventional shingle roof structure.
Solar panel

Patent Wojcik, W

A highly efficient solar panel ideally suited for use in heating swimming pools, hot tubs and the like, comprising a plurality of elongated, flexible fluid carrying conduits fixedly secured together in a side by side relationship. The conduits are interconnected at their extremities with header members embodying integral compression fittings of unique design. The panel is shipped in a rolled up, preassembled configuration and is installed by simply unrolling the panel onto any suitable supporting surface. To accommodate the size and shape of the available supporting surface, such as a roof, the novel design of the panel permits it tomore »« less
