Solar collector for combined water heating and electrical power - has panel with solar energy cells and transmits thermal energy to water

摘要

A solar panel has a rectangular box-shaped housing (7) with a transparent cover (8). Located behind the panel is a further panel containing a matrix of solar cells (6). The cells are in good thermal contact with a heat conducting plate (9). A formed plate (10) has channels through which water is circulated from inlet (11) to outlet (12) and is heated in the process by the solar energy. ADVANTAGE - Combined heating of water and generation of electricity.
