Solar collectors are housed inside a structure (roof) wfthin:an insulated sock (like inside a protective baloon), with hi-tech photo-voltaic cells or simple water based tube collectors which can be randomly placed. The liner insulated sock can have a black (dark colour) or highly reflective surface etc. The whole unit will act like a thermos tube and heat loss will be minimised. The glazing panels are orientated towards the sun in new or existing surrounds (roof pitches) trapping the sun rays. These rooflights can be shielded to prevent any heat drain during night time/cold periods of no solar gain and when not in use. The energy is transmitted to the user in heated water /power depending on collector employed. <Figure 1> |
