ABSTRACT:
A modular unit collector for collecting radiant solar energy to heat a fluid such as water is adapted to be mounted at an inclination to better receive radiant solar rays and to permit gravity drainage of the fluid from the unit. The components include an upper surface and a lower surface forming a cavity. The upper surface includes an outer radiation transmission sheet and an inner radiation absorption sheet spaced from the transmission sheet and the lower surface includes a drainage pan formed to facilitate drainage to a lower end of the unit whenever it is inclined. The upper and lower surfaces are interconnected at the side edges and upper and lower end cap means at each end of the unit close the cavity. A spray means extends into the cavity to spray fluid against the undersurface of the radiation absorption sheet and there is a drainage outlet means adjacent to the lower end cap means.
