ABSTRACT:
A solar energy panel and an energy storing medium for use therewith is the subject of the present invention. The solar energy panel comprises a container having a transparent pane and designed to hold an energy storing medium. By utilizing a transparent material the solar radiation is passed directly to the energy absorbing medium thereby increasing the operating efficiency. A novel energy storing medium is also used in the energy panel. This medium comprises a paraffinic or aromatic hydrocarbon having a specific gravity of less than one, a melting point higher than 50.degree. F. and a relatively high heat of fusion. By using an organic compound a medium is provided which has the desired energy storage capability and which is noncaustic and relatively light weight.
