ABSTRACT:
An improved form of flat plate collector of the type used for heating a fluid, such as water, using solar energy. The structure comprises a cast or molded body having a surface which is absorptive to solar radiation, above which is positioned a sheet of material transparent to solar radiation forming a flat hollow cavity through which a thin sheet of water is passed in contact both with the transparent material and the absorptive surface. The thin sheet of water acts both as a means for transferring energy from source to sink and as an interference filter as well. The cast body may also incorporate suitable plumbing passages and means for interconnecting a plurality of collector modules.
