Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a solar panel, particularly a tile according to the identifying section of claim 1 .
  • Solar panels of the known type are formed by conduits that are crossed by a convection heater, for example water, for the heat exchange between water and an absorbing material exposed to the solar rays.
  • the absorbing material could be a further storage liquid or the conduit itself could be formed by a material absorbing the solar rays well.
  • the solar panels of the known type are therefore very expensive, since their structure and arrangement are destined only for heat transmission.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of solar panels of the known type and to offer a solar panel that can be incorporated within a structure such as a building, in such a way that it is at the same time a component of the latter.
  • a solar panel particularly a tile, with the characteristics featured in claim 1 .
  • the tile material serves as an absorber for the solar rays and the solar panel hence becomes a tile satisfying two different functions: the function of the thermal energy unit and the function of covering a building.
  • fruit material particularly apples
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a panel, particularly of a tile according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of an arrangement with a plurality of tiles according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a close-up in schematic perspective view of an element connecting two tiles next to each other.
  • reference number 1 indicates a tile for example of the known type for covering roofs.
  • Tile 1 comprises solar energy absorbing material and at least one conduit 2 incorporated in a coil arrangement in the tile 1 itself in such a way that the conduit is in contact with the absorbing material.
  • Conduit 2 in a coil arrangement 3 presents a supply 4 of heat transport fluid and a delivery 5 at the tile output.
  • a plurality of tiles 1 are next to each other.
  • the first tile 1 is connected with an inlet manifold 6 equipped with an inlet 7 in order to supply a plurality of rows of tiles 1 one after another.
  • Each tile is connected to the following one through its delivery 5 with the supply 4 of the tile next to it through for example a connecting element 8 , while the last tile of the row enters an outlet manifold 9 equipped with an outlet 10 .
  • the deliveries 5 of the tile rows are connected with the outlet manifold 9 in order to supply power to a user facility, such as a hot water tank.
  • the connecting element could be also formed by a tile as shown in FIG. 3 , where a tile 11 presents a length of conduit 12 whose inlet 13 is connected with the delivery of tiles 1 and whose outlet 14 is connected with the supply 4 of a nearby tile.
  • the absorbing material of the solar panel i.e. the tile according to the invention, is conveniently formed by minced fruits, for example apples deriving above all from the fruit processing industry waste.
  • conduits for example, might be formed either by separate pipes which are drowned in the absorbing material or may be obtained directly from the material.
