Abstract: A method for making large-size hollow ceramic plate (1, 2, 4) adopts raw materials of ordinary ceramics, mixing with industrial wastes or crude minerals abundant in period IV transition metal elements, squeezing a molded body by vacuum squeezing machine then producing at low cost a large-size hollow ceramic plate (1, 2, 4) with black or fuscous surface or whole body, with an area more than 0.5m2 of a single plate. A large-size hollow ceramic plate array (23) is composed of porous ceramic plates (1), through-hole ceramic plates (2) and accessories by gluing or thread-connecting or is composed of seal ceramic plates (4) by series connecting, which can be used in a solar water heater, a solar roof and wall, a generator with large-scale solar wind duct, a large-area solar collector, a far infrared radiation plate and a radiator for construction.
