ABSTRACT:
A solar water heater has a plurality of generally triangularly shaped panels, the panels being assembled in a pyramidal or prism shaped structure on top of a base structure. Each panel includes a planar transparent structure for permitting the passage of solar radiation therethrough. Coupled to the planar structure is a radiation absorbing member or multiplicity of radiation absorbing elements. The radiation absorbing member or elements are configured to form an enclosed structure so that water can flow, typically in channels, therebetween. An inlet is provided at the top of each panel and an outlet is provided at the bottom of each panel so that water can be introduced into the interior of the top of the panel and flows, under the influence of gravity, to the bottom of the panel, i.e., through the outlet. The solar radiation passing through the planar transparent structure is absorbed by the radiation absorbing member or elements, the radiation absorbing member or elements being heated thereby. The heat of the radiation absorbing member is transferred to the water. The radiation absorbing member has a channel structure fabricated to increase the length of time the water stays in contact with the radiation absorbing member or elements, thereby enhancing the heat transfer.
