The illustration demonstrates the process by which the structure of a solar panel is used to heat air and water.
Overall, it is a man-made multi-step linear process, which consists of two distinct applications sharing a similar structural design. The first stage involves assembling a box with a transparent top, while the final stage involves producing warm air or warm water. Furthermore, the process includes capturing sun rays and introducing cool air and water before they are transformed into warm air and water.
Initially, a transparent top is fitted onto the box, after which sun rays are absorbed by the transparent top. Subsequently, cool air is passed through the box and transparent top, resulting in warm air from the outlet, since the box has two pipes: one is an inlet pipe on the left side and the other is an outlet pipe on the right side.
At the next stage, cool water is introduced before being passed through the water pipe. During this step, cool water is warmed between the transparent top and the box. Finally, the resulting warm water is discharged, thereby completing the process.
