ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector (14) which comprises a heat absorbing structure (16) which takes in radiant energy and transfers the radiant energy to water carried therein. A main body (18) encompasses the heat absorbing structure (16). The radiant energy will enter a transparent top portion (19) of the main body (18) to reach the heat absorbing structure (16). Elements (20) are for carrying the water into and out of the heat absorbing structure (16). Components (22) are for supporting opposite ends of the heat absorbing structure (16) within the main body (18) on a roof (24) of a building 26). A facility (28) is for covering the transparent top portion (19) of the main body (18). Equipment (30) is for automatically opening the covering facility (28) during daylight hours to expose the transparent top portion (19), to allow the radiant energy to reach the heat absorbing structure (16) and for automatically closing the covering facility (28) during nighttime hours, to seal the transparent top portion (19) to keep the radiant energy within the heat absorbing structure (16) in the main body (18).
