Patent
·
OSTI ID:5719326
A solar heat collector assembly includes a base carrying one or more heat collectors, a top cover of a ''U'' shaped configuration and a groove structure for joining the top cover to the base. The top cover in its preferred form is made of plastic material having a number of air cavities serving as heat insulators and the base is made of a heat insulating material, so that the heat collectors on the base are completely environed within a heat insulating chamber for good and efficient heat collection. Furthermore, the groove structure is designed to inhibit ingress of water into the groove structure and prevent ingress of water into the heat collectors in the event that water enters into the groove structure. A typical shape of the groove members is an ''S'' shape having an upward groove and a downward groove.
