Solar energy collector

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6325198

A solar energy collector includes a solar panel with channels for solar energy collecting fluid or liquid which channels are adapted to efficiently use the available panel area and thus more efficiently collect the solar energy per unit area than so far achieved. This solar energy collector comprises a solar panel distinctively including fluid channels tapering in width from an inlet end to an outlet end thereof and laterally juxtaposed such that the channels of one set laterally alternate with the other channels and taper in width in opposite direction relative to these other channels.
