ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector utilizes a generally wedge-shaped device whose lateral upper surface is receptive of light rays passing therethrough into the wedge-shaped body of the collector. The lower surface of the collector reflects rays upwardly towards the upper surface. Such rays are re-reflected back towards the lowermost lower surface. Each successive internal reflection tends to further dispose the reflected rays in a direction substantially parallel to a plane located intermediate the upper and lower surfaces and substantially thereinbetween. A solar operated heater, disposed at the external face of the wedge-shaped collector is heated by all the rays directed towards such heater. The collector may be provided with a prismatic adapter located above the upper surface of the collector. The collector may be a solid glass structure, or a hollow structure, having a black body reflector therein that is parallel to the uppermost surface, or having the interior surfaces with a suitable "greenhouse effect" coating thereon, or having a liquid or gas disposed therein.
