ABSTRACT:
A method and device for collecting solar energy is the subject of this application. A glass cloth coated with a light absorbing resinous material is utilized as the collector panel. A glass cloth coated with a translucent resinous material is the preferred material for a cover panel that is disposed in spaced relationship to the collector panel. A framework holds the two cloth layers in spaced planar relationship and a heat exchange medium is placed in contact with the collector panel. The device is used by placing it in direct sunlight, preferably at an angle to maximize the effects of the solar radiation. Radiation striking the light absorbing glass cloth is quickly dissipated by the glass fibers thereby heating the transfer medium. The resinous material, preferably black for the collector panel, provides a highly absorptive surface for the solar radiation and also protects the glass fiber of the cloth from deterioration as a result of radiation or corrosion.
