A composite insulating panel 1, particularly to provide a more efficient system for cladding a building, comprising a translucent upper sheet 2 and a lower sheet 4 between which is an insulating body 5, a solar collector 10 is located between the upper sheet and the insulating body. The solar collector may comprise a flexible material and may extend across the whole width of the panel or may be in the form of strips. The upper sheet may have raised portions into which the solar collector may extend. The solar collector may be adhesively bonded to the upper sheet. There may also be a barrier such as a film between the solar collector and the insulating body. There may be projections at the sides that underlap or overlap with adjacent panels. |
