Abstract:
A device for collecting and transferring solar energy to a receiving medium to be heated, comprising:a plurality of substantially horizontal profiled elements, spaced from one another and arranged in tiers to form a screen;said screen having an external face designed to be exposed to solar radiation, and an internal face designed to be mounted against the receiving medium;the plurality of profiled elements defining between them a multiplicity of air channels extending between the external face and the internal face;and a closure device is positioned to trap the air contained in the channels;wherein the profiled elements are made of transparent or translucent strips having low solar radiation absorption and thermal conduction properties, said strips being formed by taking a film of thin material and having a profile of which a terminating portion rises adjacent to the internal face of the screen.
