Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A solar panel for absorbing solar energy and for transmitting the energy to a medium comprising two substantially continuous sheets, each of said sheets having a plurality of partition walls integral therewith, said partition walls on one of said sheets being aligned with said partition walls on the other of said sheets to form a plurality of channels adapted to carry said medium, and inlet and outlet manifolds for communicating with said channels, each manifold consisting of a chamber formed by removing portions of said partition walls and sealing edges of said two sheets together, and means for allowing said medium to flow into said inlet manifold and out of said outlet manifold, whereby each manifold is bounded at opposed ends by side portions of said sheets and along one side by said edges which have been sealed together.
