ABSTRACT:
A solar heating system for providing heat to a building is disclosed as having a plurality of solar panels for collecting heat. The solar panels have a transparent panel through which the sun rays pass for heating the interior of the panel and the air within that panel. Additionally, the transparent panels include concentrating lenses for heating a heat exchanger disposed within the panel whereby additional heat is provided to heat the air within the solar panel. Heat generated through the solar panel is stored in Zeolite crystals in a heat storage chamber which is utilized to provide heat for the building. The Zeolite crystals function as a sponge-like substance which has the property to store 750,000 BTU per cubic yard for an indefinite time. A heat pump is provided to supplement the solar heat when the temperature in the heat storage chamber is below a comfortable level. During heat pump operation solar warmed air is pumped from the heat storage chamber to the chamber surrounding the heat pump evaporator to raise the evaporator ambient temperature and provide more efficient heat pump operation.
