Abstract

A solar energy collector assembly (10) is disclosed. The collector assembly (10) includes an outer enclosure (16) which has a light transparent major face (22) adapted to face a light source and a plurality of walls (24, 26, 28, 30) extending rearwardly from the major face (22). A single collector plate (18) is secured in the enclosure spaced from and rearward of the major face (22). The collector plate (l8) has a curvilinear configuration with a large radius of curvature. The collector plate (18) has an outer surface (108) adapted to face a light source and an opposite inner surface (110). A rear panel assembly (20) which has an inner (54) and an outer surface (21) is attached in the enclosure rearward of the collector plate. A heating chamber (14) is formed between the inner surface (54) of the rear panel assembly (20) and the inner surface (110) of the collector plate (18). An inlet (126) and an outlet (127) communicate with the heating chamber (114) to pass a transfer medium through the heating chamber.
