The picture depicts the solar panel’s structure and how it is used.
Overall, the solar panel consists of 4 details, which, when combined, are utilised to heat either air or water.
First, about the structure. The panel itself is made of: a top, a box (which is most likely made of metal), and the input and output tubes going into and out of the box. Also, the top itself is represented as transparent glass. In addition, it is clearly seen that if the device is used to warm water, an additional tube is placed inside. The warming is achieved by solar rays.
Second, about the process of heating the air. Once the air has been let into the machine, it is heated by the sun’s rays. Consequently, after being warmed enough, the air is let out.
Finally, about the water heating. For heating it, a special z-shaped tube is placed inside the container. After the heating device is ready, the water is pumped into the system. Here it is boiled similarly to the air, using the sun’s power. In the end, the warmed water is let out for use.
