The invention adds liquid solar heating to conventional house construction without altering the plans. Sections of moulded polyester resin embedding pipes connect together to provide a continuous liquid pathway which is hidden from view, or conduits may be moulded in the polyester resin thereby eliminating the pipes. The sections are artistically styled, obviating the unsightly appearance of present day solar equipped homes. The arrangement is very inexpensive, yet durable, and not subject to glass panels and its attendant breakage or the use of expensive copper tubing. The entire roof is a collector and different parts of the roof are exposed to the direct sunlight at all times of the day. Longitudinal seams accommodating thermal expansion are provided between adjacent sections by a trough terminating one section and a trough covering extrusion terminating the adjacent section. Rain and snow water run down the trough and off of the roof. The solar sections actually replace the shingles, tile or other outer coating of the conventional roof for new construction. Hence, the solar section is integral with the house, making it more stormproof, yet workmen may walk over the roof. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1. A solar heated liquid section unit comprising in combination, an insulated exterior roof facing, and a plurality of pipes extending throughout the interior of the facing for circulating solar heated liquid therethrough to transfer solar generated heat from said roof facing, wherein said roof facing includes a solid heat conductor body comprising silica sand filler held by a resin embodying the sand filler as a fireproofing additive and heat conductor. 2. The unit of claim 1 further comprising, A trough terminating edge of said section unit, and; a trough covering edge terminating the edge of said section unit opposite said one edge thereof.
Description:
PRIOR ART U. S. Pat. No. 4,006,856 is typical of the panel type solar heated construction and does not teach a hidden liquid system. U. S. Pat. No. 4,020,989 shows structure incorportated into the original building plans which is not simple or inexpensive and also does not teach a hidden liquid system. THE INVENTION The present invention discloses solar heating construction, in modular interconnectible form, which may comprise the entire roof of a conventional building. Casting of the sections in polyester resin moulds with embedded pipes insures reliable inexpensive, easily incorporable structures which may serve as the entire exterior roof section. The liquid passage way is entirely hidden--no glass panels are visible--artistic sculpture may be designed into the mould at present a pleasant view, in contrast to todays unsightly shaped solar structures. Basically, three moulds may provide for an entire house roof, i. e. outer end sections and an interconnecting middle section, cast to size can cover most roof sections. But, the present sections may be connected in larger numbers to fit the outline of the roof being covered--usually over new tar paper. Graduated size pipes may be used to fit the contour of the moulded sections for artistic sculpture. The heated water, via the holding tank heat exchanger, (in the attic or elsewhere) can supply hot water for domestic use even to warm a swimming pool
