ABSTRACT:
A solar roof collector comprising a plate collector with a plurality of transparent conduits to channel a thin film of water from an insulated reservoir in order to increase the temperature of water therein as a result of heat absorption in the plate collector. An evaporative chiller including transparent air ducts in which air is circulated receives in the air ducts pre-heated water from the insulated reservoir, distributed therein preferably under the form of a thin film. Some water in the air ducts is vaporized and the vapor saturated air is passed through a vortex condensor, precipitating water which generates thermal energy. The thermal energy may be used to drive a gas turbine or another type of energy conversion device.
