- Device for collecting and storing solar energy. For example, home water heating is done by flat panels consisting of a glass cover plate over a black background on which water is circulated through tubes. Short-wave solar radiation enters the glass and is absorbed by the black background. As long-wave radiation is emitted from the black material, it cannot escape through the glass, so the water in the circulating tubes is heated, typically to temperatures of 38° to 93°C.
