Diy solar collector panel.

Do it yourself pop can solar panel construction housing for diy solar panels is made using plywood 15mm 0 6in thick while its front is a polycarbonate sheet 3mm 0 12in thick. We know about these solar heaters which are used to heat water of a pool and many of you came up with the idea of turning them into similar flat plate solar. The back of the solar panel will be insulated properly with a rock wool or styrodur of 20mm 0 8 inch. Just as it sounds this design replaces the stack of pop cans in the solar air heating panel with standard eaves trough downspouts painted matt black to absorb the sun s rays.

Assembly of the solar collector cut the timber treat all sawn ends with a good quality timber preservative. Glue and screw the sides together a b and c. I have insulated the backside of the solar collector with 20mm 0 8in rock wool. Paint the collector panel using as thin a coating as possible of high temperature black oil base paint black car exhaust paint is a good suggestion.
