ABSTRACT:
A solar water heater is disclosed comprising a frame adapted to be mounted within the wall of a building, a conduit securely mounted within the frame in a sinuous planar configuration and having an outer surface adapted to absorb solar energy, an inlet end adapted for connection to a water supply and an outlet end adapted for connection to a hot water storage tank, a transparent corrugated panel member mounted within the frame and outward of the conduit, the corrugations of the transparent panel member being parabolic shaped in cross-section to direct incident light rays to the conduit dwelling within the parabolic shape, a reflector panel mounted within the frame rearward of the conduit and having a forwardly disposed corrugated reflector surface with the corrugations being parabolic in cross-section to direct light reflected from the reflector surface to the conduit dwelling within the parabolic shape, a third panel hingedly secured to the bottom of the frame and being rotatable from a closed position enclosing the forward end of the frame to an open position exposing the forward end, the third panel member having an inner reflective surface to reflect rays of sunlight toward the transparent panel member, and connection means for selectively adjusting the position of the third panel relative to the frame.
