SOLAR HEAT COLLECTOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To enable to collect and utilize solar energy in both forms of heat and of electricity by a structure wherein the light receiving surface serves both for a solar heat collector and for solar cells. CONSTITUTION:The solar heat collector 1 is arranged with a pipe 2, through the interior of which water for hot water supply or heat carrier used for cooling and heating flows and an inlet and an outlet ports of which are led from the solar heat collector 1. A protective plate 5 such as glass or the like is provided on the insolation surface of the solar heat collector 1 so as to prevent the pipe 2 from being cooled by wind or the like. The solar cell elements 6 are arranged on the insolation surface of the solar heat collector 1. The pipe 2 is covered with a heat absorbing plate 9 so as to improve the heat absorbing efficiency of the collector 1 and provided with a heat insulating material 8 so as to prevent the absorbed heat from leaking.
