Abstract: A heat collector device is provided. The heat collector includes an exterior surface exposed to an environment, and an interior surface. Side walls separate the exterior and interior surfaces. A heat insulation interposes the exterior and interior surfaces. Each hot air duct includes a first portion interfacing with the external surface and a second portion interfacing with the heat insulation. Each cold air duct is encompassed by the heat insulation. A first chamber formed by a first side wall provides fluidic communication between the air ducts at a first end portion of each respective duct. A second chamber formed by a second side wall provides fluidic communication between the air ducts at a second end portion of each respective duct. A heat exchange mechanism disposed in the second chamber removes heat from a first fluidic medium of the air ducts, the first chamber, and the second chamber.

Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting solar energy and ambient heat are provided. A roof panel includes a metal sheet disposed about an upper end of the roof panel. Heat insulation is disposed below the metal sheet. At least one hot air duct and at least one cold air duct are each formed parallel to a rafter direction and in the plane of the roof panel. Each hot air duct is exposed to a surface of the metal sheet, and each cold air duct is encompassed by the heat insulation. A medium collectively fills the air ducts. A lower air reversing chamber is formed at a lower end portion of the roof panel, and an upper air reversing chamber is formed at an upper end portion of the roof panel. A cooling device is disposed in the upper air reversing chamber.

Abstract: The subject of the present application is an arrangement of sandwich panels already used in buildings in a way that makes them capable of collecting solar radiation and ambient heat and transferring the energy out of the roof. The structural elements of the present invention consist of a heat insulating core sandwiched between external and internal sheets with load-bearing capacity, similar to the make-up of the known load-bearing sandwich panels. Whether the sheet profiles are placed in the direction of the ridge beam or of the rafters, with the appropriate set of them, hollow structure is created on the surface and in the core of the panel in the direction of the rafters, in the entire length of the roof, functioning as pathways for gaseous materials (air ducts (1, 4)). If these air ducts, both external and in the core, are connected at the end facing each other, i.e.
