The diagrams above show the structures of a solar panel and illustrate how the machine can be used to heat air and water.
A solar panel is built from two main components: a box with two holes for inlet and outlet, and a transparent top. The top is required to be transparent to allow sun rays entering the box. This machine can be used for two different functions, which are to heat air and heat water.
Performing both functions have similar mechanism. The first hole will act as an inlet to allow air or water entering the box, while the second hole, which placed in the opposite side of the first one, will act as an outlet to allow air or water to come out. The difference between the two is, you have to add a water pipe to heat water, as the water pipe will be used to manage the water flows. Meanwhile, you only need the box and its top to heat air.
