Solar panel construction
A solar panel construction is described including an elongated, sealed, flat, polygonal case or receptacle within which is supported a metal solar energy collector panel on rigid permeable insulation material and also relatively soft yieldable permeable insulation material. A radiant energy transmitting means is spaced above the collector panel, the construction being hermetically sealed and dehumidified and particularly arranged to yield under conditions of temperature extremes without loss of hermetic sealing and loss of efficiency. A method is described of preconditioning such a solar panel construction to obtain optimum effectiveness between temperature ranges to which the panel construction will be subjected. 14 claims, 14 figures.
