Solar energy collector device.

摘要

A solar energy collector device is disclosed for selectively collecting an electrical energy and a thermal energy at the same time from a solar energy. The device comprises an inorganic-and-metal composite in the form of a roof tile (10a, 10b) or a wall-forming member (10e, 10f) which includes a solar battery (16) exposed to sun rays and a heat medium passageway (18) disposed underneath the battery (16). The density of distribution of a particulate inorganic substance (I) within a metal mass (M) is varied through the areas of the tile or wall member so as to effectively collect the respective energies without adversely affecting the interior conditions of a building in which the device is installed.
