Abstract:
A solar corrugation with shield, which is a stationary device with no moving parts, controls the transmission of solar radiant energy on a supply and demand relationship throughout the seasons of the year.
The corrugation has a ninety degree, or thereabouts, angle between its two planar sides, or panes, with one pane being exposed to and the other pane being protected from solar radiant energy.
The corrugation is composed of a material transparent to solar radiant energy.
The shield is a planar plate, or shield, so positioned to protect the protected pane of the corrugation. The shield, in its position, is separated from the protected pane of the corrugation by an air space.
The shield is composed of a material opaque to and absorbent of solar radiant energy.
