Solar energy absorbing panel

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5980378
A solar energy absorbing panel is provided which may be integrally incorporated into a conventional building structure so that it does not protrude from the normal contour of the building , and which utilizes components of the building structure as a part of the collecting apparatus to thereby minimize the cost thereof. The panel is composed of a plurality of interconnected side-by-side, generally u-shaped sections, with the adjacent sides of adjacent sections forming parallel fins which facilitate transfer of heat to air passed therealong. Also, slot means are provided at one end edge of the panel which is adapted to receive the other end edge of another like panel therein, whereby the panels may be joined in an end-to-end arrangement.
