Abstract: A solar energy black body collector is disclosed that gathers the sun's radiant forms of energy, transforms the energy to heat energy and transfers this energy to a medium fluid (air). The energy absorbing structure consists of a cell layer (secondary black body collector) and a flat plate (primary black body collector) almost perpendicular to each other. This combined structure collects the sun's rays from any inbound angle and reduces, to a minimum, reflected rays out of the black body collector frontal area.The black body collector structure is mounted between a transparent (to light wave energy) front panel and an opaque rear panel. The entire unit is hermetically sealed to the outside elements and is a completed unit ready for service.
