ABSTRACT:
A solar heat collector is formed by a unitary top plate having spaced apart downwardly extending tabs, a unitary bottom plate having spaced apart upwardly extending tabs, a frame holding the plates together in spaced apart relationship with the tabs intermeshed, and a backing plate held in the frame under the bottom plate. The upper surfaces of all plates and tabs are painted black to better absorb solar heat. Air is circulated between the heat collector and a porous heat storage unit to transfer heat from the collector to the storage unit, the tabs of the heat collector serving both as heat absorbent surfaces and as baffles to maximize heat transfer from the heat collector to the air stream. The tabs can be formed by making a plurality of H-shaped cuts in the top and bottom plates and then bending the inner margins of each H-shaped cut away from the plane of the corresponding plate to form two tabs. A looped water conduit can be mounted on staggered supporting panels within the heat storage unit, the staggered supporting panels acting as baffles to maximize air stream contact with the looped conduit to thus maximize heat transfer to the water therein.
