Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for converting solar radiation into thermal energy via a first and second non-ferrous metal conduit joined in a serpentine configuration by a non-ferrous metal end fitting. In one aspect, the apparatus is a high performance solar radiation collector converting solar radiation into thermal energy and transferring said thermal energy to a liquid transfer medium flowing through the collector.
