A composite panel 20 for combining an air well with solar energy generation, comprising a solar panel 3 and a condensing panel 6 mechanically fastened 4 back-to-back and thermally insulated from one another with an insulating layer 5 interposed between the solar panel 3 and the condensing panel 6. The condensing panel 6 may be in the form of a high radiance condensing panel, the panel may comprise alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic micro-zones provided on the surface. The composite panel 20 may be provided with a rotatable fixing means 2, thereby allowing the solar panel 3 to be directed at the sun during the day and for the composite panel 20 to be rotated such that the condensing panel 6 is facing generally upwards at a convenient angle at night. The composite panel 20 may also be provided in an array such that there is a single electrical output and a single water output for the whole array, the water output may be in the form of a gutter 11. |
