Abstract:
A transpired solar collector includes the follows. An absorber panel having a body formed of stainless steel; a surface layer of chromium oxide on an exterior face of the body through-holes formed through the body and surface layer, in which the surface layer has a thickness of at least 70 nanometres.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of manufacturing a transpired solar collector, the method comprising: providing a stainless steel plate, the stainless steel plate having an original chromium oxide layer on a first surface;\n chemically or electrochemically thickening the original chromium oxide layer on the first surface to form a thickened chromium oxide layer; forming a plurality of through-holes through the stainless steel plate; and forming the stainless steel plate as an absorber panel of a transpired solar collector, the thickened chromium oxide layer forming an exterior surface of the transpired solar collector, wherein the step of chemically or electrochemically thickening the original chromium oxide can occur before or after the step of forming a plurality of through-holes.
