Problems solved by technology

[0005] For thermal solar systems that simply convert incident radiation into a heated fluid, efficiencies can theoretically be high, but the efficiency of these systems is limited by factors such as the reflection of solar energy by the absorbing surface and any covering protective layers (such as layers of glass, etc.) and / or or transmission, etc.
The efficiency of these systems is also limited by the ability of the absorbing surface to absorb incoming radiation, which varies with the temperature difference between the solar panel and its surroundings

Embodiment Construction

[0130] figure 1 An embodiment of a solar thermal system is schematically shown. The system includes multiple layers stacked in a planar arrangement. The first (ie, upper) layer includes a protective glass layer 118 that provides some structural stability and protection to the panel. Glass is rigid, scratch resistant and transparent to a broad spectrum of incident electromagnetic radiation, so glass is a suitable material for the upper layers of a solar thermal system. However, the skilled artisan will recognize that other materials, such as transparent plastic, may also be suitable. It should be appreciated that the upper layer need not be optically transparent but may diffuse light.

[0131] A layer of target fluid 120 is provided below the upper glass layer. The target fluid is the fluid into which the solar thermal system is designed to transfer solar energy. Typically, the target fluid includes water. Water is transparent to some wavelengths of incident solar radiati...

Abstract

The present invention describes a solar panel (302) for heating a target fluid using incident solar radiation, the solar panel (302) comprising: three main edges (306) arranged such that The solar panel (302) can be inscribed in a triangle, and each major edge (308) of the panel (302) is disposed along at least a portion of a side of the triangle; a chamber for holding the target fluid; and a chamber for holding the target fluid inlet and outlet for exchanging target fluids with adjacent solar panels (302).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of solar energy, and in particular to the harvesting and utilization of energy from solar radiation, in particular the conversion of energy into thermal energy useful in solar thermal systems. Background technique [0002] At noon on a clear day at the equator, one square meter of the earth's surface receives about 1000W of energy. It has long been recognized that this energy can make an important contribution to human energy requirements. To date, two different approaches have been pursued to harness this energy. Solar photovoltaic (solar PV) systems use semiconductor materials (usually silicon-based) to absorb energy from the sun and convert that energy into electricity. Photons incident on a photovoltaic material cause the excitation of electrons within the material to a higher energy state and enable these electrons to serve as carriers of electrical current. This electrical energy can be used locally o...
