Abstract: A prefabricated insulating panel for making outer surfaces of buildings, integrating an auxiliary panel unit, particularly a photovoltaic unit, is equipped with one or more quick-fit retention members of the auxiliary panel unit, each quick-fit retention members including an engaging portion to retain said auxiliary panel unit in a position thereof resting over the insulating panel, which members can be anchored quickly to said insulating panel without the need to make holes in the insulating panel and/or in the structure of said auxiliary panel unit for the engagement of fixing elements such as screws or the like.

Abstract: A prefabricated insulating panel (5) for the construction of external surfaces of buildings comprises two sheets of metal material (6, 7?), between which an insulating material (8?) is set, where at least one of the two sheets (6?, 7?) defines a plurality of substantially parallel longitudinal ribbings (10A?, 10B?). According to the invention, at least a first (10B?) and a second (10A?) of said ribbings are operative for supporting between them at least a photovoltaic module (14) in a plane of lie raised with respect to a general plane of the panel (5); between the two sheets (6?, 7?) there is moreover present at least one pipe (13) for the passage of cables (18) for electrical connection of the photovoltaic module (14).
Abstract: A covering component for protecting outer surfaces of buildings from atmospheric agents comprises a metal sheet (7), an insulating mass (8) arranged below said sheet (7), and heat exchanging means (7–9, 11, 12) comprising at least a passage channel (7B), the latter being an integral part of the component and being designed to be part of a solar energy heating system for a heat conveying fluid. The passage channel consists of a rib (7B) of the sheet (7) defining a cross section opening towards the insulating mass (8), and the outer surface of the passage channel thus formed is almost completely exposed to sunlight. In the preferred embodiment of the invention there is provided a cover made of transparent material (11), arranged above the sheet (7), which delimits together with the latter at least part of a hollow space (12) into which the rib (12) projects.
