ABSTRACT:
A solar energy unit comprising a housing adapted to be mounted on the roof of a building or otherwise suitably supported. The housing has a central cavity which contains a reservoir for a heat absorbing liquid. A heat exchanger containing a circulating heat exchange fluid is immersed in the heat-absorbing liquid. The heat exchange fluid circulates to areas to be heated. A transparent dome covers the upper end of the housing and the cavity and is provided with prismatic facets on its inner surface to magnify the sun's rays and to focus or concentrate the rays on the heat-absorbing liquid. The dome is substantially hemispherical and will receive the sun's rays regardless of the position of the sun relative to the housing.
