METHOD FOR TAKING OUT SOLAR LIGHT ENERGY AND SOLAR CELL PANEL INTEGRATION TYPE WATER HEATER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To take out solar light energy received by solar cells, as electric energy and thermal energy, and thereby to utilize the most part of the solar light energy. SOLUTION: This solar cell panel integration type water heater 2 is equipped with a plurality of pipes 4 made of solar cells, a case 6 holding these pipes 4, a pump supplying water to the pipes 4, etc. Each of the pipes 4 made of solar cells is constituted of an amorphous solar cell panel 22 of which a light- receiving surface 22A is directed outward and the pipes are disposed in parallel, with a space between them, while a reflector mirror 10 is provided on the bottom 606 of the case 6. A water discharge port of each pipe 4 made of solar cells is connected to a radiator by a water discharge pipe and water is made to circulate between the pipes 4 and the radiator by the drive of the pump.
