ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a planar window panel, which is in optical contact with heat storage means. The panel includes a fluorescent material for trapping at least a portion of the incident solar radiation and directing it to the heat storage means, whereby a portion of the light is stored in such heat storage means for subsequent use. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heat storage means consists essentially of a phase change material which has a transition temperature generally in the range of 50.degree. F. to 150.degree. F., and preferably in the range of 70.degree. F. to 110.degree. F. In order to utilize the heat stored in the heat storage window at times when the incident solar radiation is relatively low, means are provided to pass a heat exchange fluid in contact with the heat storage means.
