A solar collector includes a plurality of panels overlapped along one direction such that each panel overlies a portion of one adjacent panel and underlies a portion of another adjacent panel to define overlapping areas. The panels are slightly transversely spaced from one another in the overlapping...

Zusammenfassung:A solar collector includes a plurality of panels overlapped along one direction such that each panel overlies a portion of one adjacent panel and underlies a portion of another adjacent panel to define overlapping areas. The panels are slightly transversely spaced from one another in the overlapping areas for flow of air therebetween to a plenum chamber at least partly enclosed by the panels. Heat absorbed by the panels from solar radiation is transferred to air flowing over the panels and through the spaces in the overlapping areas.
