Abstract: A solar energy heat collector and storage chamber is provided with fixed side, rear, top, and bottom walls. A glass front wall permits sun rays to pass inwardly therethrough to heat rock pieces and also functions to help any heat from passing outwardly therethrough. This glass wall extends forwardly and downwardly. Behind and in spaced relation to this glass wall is a mesh screen wall which is preferably parallel thereto. Behind and in spaced relation to this screen wall are first and second baffle walls, the first forming with the screen wall a first rock chamber and the second forming with the first thereof, a second rock chamber. The first baffle wall extends from the top or bottom wall as a first wall, toward and short of the other wall thereof, while the second baffle wall extends from the other toward and short of the first wall.
